Hobikisen Manufacturing Process
 
Upper and lower Side Panels
The upper and lower side panels stand from the bottom panel of a boat. The lower side panels are mostly under the water and have a wide angle to prevent rolling. The upper side panels are nearly perpendicular to the bottom panel. They are the broadside, or gunwale of the boat.
The angle of the lower side panels of hobikisen is wide in order to prevent the boat from rolling by wind and to move the boat sideways.
 
A wood pattern is used to mount the lower side panels on the bottom panel.
This is also used in the same manner for joining the upper and lower side panels.
The angle of the lower side panels against the bottom panel is determined with this pattern.
