Step 7 Floor, wheels, boat direction, rabbit-earsn rowing forks, mast void

_ The floor (blue) is 15mm plywood, divided into 4 removable parts (ropes make is easy to take off) re-inforced with aluminium underneath structure. The entire floor is suspended on aluminium V profiles screwed to the sides, and the junction between each part of the floor and the sides aremade with caoutchouc 2mm leafs (to make it more waterproof in order not to collect to much water when it's raining. The front triangular flooring part is not removable unless you dismount the upper case (yellow)

_ The upper case (yellow) is made of 9mm plywood and has a big hole in the middle for the mast.
The case is divided in 2 main parts :
- Left for clothes, sleeping bag, maps and papers, computer, tripod, ext HD, camera tapes.
- Right for kitchen, tools, water tanks, gas bottle.
- Under the case, directly on the floor is where i put my compas, light and candles, the life vest, whistle, fireworks (obligatory when sailing), anchor, ropes in bags.
- Under the floor is where I put the inflatable bags, mast, sail, tent, paddles, pumps, extra water bags the 2 keels // or the bike folded (i will explain later how to use these elements, how to balance the ensemble when sailing // cycling)

_ The boat direction (fluo blue) is made of a
- Rudder plywood 15mm
- Stainless steel support that lets the rudder articulated on a 14 mm screwable steel axe

_ There is four pairs of rigs (purple) for the paddles, but also as tent structures holes (later)

_ Many ropes are here for when the canoe has to attached to the border, dragged from the border or big a bigger boat, or lifted out of the water when you have to pass over a canal lock.

_ The BMX super strong wheels (you have been waiting for that part !!!) fixed on the sides by only 2 big 14mm screws up there and by a nylon rope underneath, we'll see in a more detailled view how the shock absorbing system works...
