: The manual for the Chessie 14 says that you "cut a piece of FG cloth to
: the shape of the bottom panels and lay it over the bottom of the cockpit
: area (between the bulkheads)."

: Two questions: 1: does this cloth only cover the bottom, or does it rise
: anywhere up the sides for reinforcement?

: 2: are the areas past the bulkheads epoxy only? I can't find any reference to
: glassing them, but I want to make sue I haven't missed anything!

: Thanks, coop

The cloth can rise up the sides if you deem it neccessary for your usage. Its purpose in the bottom is to give some abrasion resistance to where your feet will be in addition to some strength where you will be sitting.

yes, in the instructions, the areas past the bulkheads are epoxy only. this is how I built my CLC 18.
