Step 16Cockpits
I used the saber saw to plunge cut and cut out two cockpit holes in the deck.
Glued my little WRC deck beams across at the front and back edge of each cockpit hole.
Cut redwood blocks to support the sides of the cockpit.
Cut teak strips 1/2" square and glued them to the top of the deck.
I used all my clamps. That's one of the observed rules of boatbuilding. You will always use all your clamps.
Notice the deck beams by the aka sockets. Besides strengthening this area they'll help guide the akas into place.
Max tries out the cockpit. It's exactly the right size.

Make the cuts, then add the ribs I imagine.
