Fixing early mistakes and other business

I made a couple of mistakes constructing the frames - I made the companionway too low for a good smooth flow of the deck profile, it's just a centimeter or so, but I'd know. Fixed by laminating a strip of wood on top of the whole thing:

Another screw up, or rather a failed experiment is the angle of the cabin side just above the sheer at frame D. I was hoping it would be possible to bend the side a little bit more than in the design. Not sure why. Now it would be possible, but the stringer (or rather a deck joist (?) ) would have to be twisted just outside of the range I'm comfortable with - I did have some trouble with that in the past. So. I decided to just fix it by lamination. Just like the other thing, I'll use slightly longer fasteners to compensate.

 

In other news: the forepeak bottom is fitted and glued in:

It is screwed to the stringers but only a fillet is keeping it up at the stem, should be good enough. There will be no hatch, it will be accessible from the inside only.

I cut the cockpit floor out of 8mm ply, as specified in the docs:

It feels, surprisingly, strong enough, even just like that, not attached to anything. It does flex a bit too much for my liking though - I will add some additional supports. It will gain a lot more stiffness in any case just from being attached and glassed over, but I like my floors completely rigid.

A bunch of other smallish finishing jobs also got done today, no pictures though. Tomorrow I'll tackle the rest of the cocpit.
