The outer stems complete the bows of each hull. These are made of solid timber and are bonded to the inner stems.
At the centre of the each stem is a piece of plywood which is shaped to give the outer stem the correct profile. Additional timber is very roughly shaped and glued in place to make a rough approximation of the outer stem.
The outer stem is shaped to match the lines of the hull and of the keel using the plywwod centre as a guide.
