View towards the starboard stern quarter, showing the first starboard plank of the sub-sheer strake (naba dali) stapled in place. Boat builder Dilip Mondal (R) makes the staple rebates in the plank that will be fitted amidships, while brother Dilip can be seen making the edge-rebate for it. To the left, boat builders Manimohan (inboard) and Amol (outboard) work on the sub-sheer-strake planking of the port stern.
