Constructing the ninth strake, starboard

View forward along the hull, showing construction of the ninth-strake planking in progress starboard; two planks are in place, the forward one being stapled by boat builder Panchanan Mondal (working inboard), and the aft one clamped in place for spiling; boat builder Dipak Mondal holds it, as Manimohan (head just visible) spiles it.
