Inwales on - screwed but not glued

Got both inwales on last night - screwed not glued. Couldn't get the bow/ stern ends to follow the line exactly so left them sitting low inside the bulkhead as this section will be covered when the capping goes on. The plywood upper edge (where the inwales goes) was a bit wavey but as soon as the inwale was screwed in place it really gave a nice even line. The boat is extremely rigid now. I'm going to leave the inwales in place until Friday so they take a set then remove them and add the glue and go through the process again.
