Step 16Lace Along Cockpit Rims
When the lacing gets to the cockpits, do it like this.
Mark the lacing points on the skin with pencil.
Use a stick to lay out where the lacing would have gone across the cockpit. Mark the locations on the rim.
Drill holes in the side of the cockpit rim.
Use a backing block to minimize splintering at the exit wound.
Lace the skin to the holes.
Pull it tight.
It ended up being really clean. I hadn't had a good plan to deal with the cockpit lacing, but it just happened this way.
Speaking of clean, this is a good time to vacuum the shavings out of the boat.
