Slow progress

I haven't been able to work on the boat much lately. But there has been some minor progress. There are a series of hull-stiffening stringers both fore and aft of the main bulkhead. They are epoxied in place to help stiffen the hull right where there is most likely to be occasional bumps while beaching or retrieving the boat to a trailer. The aft stringers run parallel to the centerline while those in the front compartment are on a diagonal that matches the straight line in the developed curve of the bow.

The front compartment also houses the forward mast step which can be seen here. It is not installed yes, but just taped in placed to fine-tune the location. I'll be glassing it in place soon.

I have also installed the side bulkheads and added the framing for the side seats. It's not a ton of progress, but with this done it's easier to picture how the cockpit will be laid out and how much room there will be to move around.
