Cozy Boat Episode 2: A New Skin

Step 12 Lace the Skin Onto the Frame

The innertube lashings that held the frame together were starting to fall apart. We redid a few using polyester string. That's the bright lime green lashings. Then Ray and Chloe laced the skin on with thicker polyester cord. They poked lacing holes, small vertical slits in the hem. The lacing string went around the reinforcing cord in the hem, and around the main inside stringer as seen here.
