I have a lot of these.
How do you make deck fittings with SOF? I'm guessing they should be atttached to the frames for strength but, the frames don't touch the canvas (The stringers are 1/4 inch higher.) Do I stitch them into the canvas and lash them to a stringer at the same time? Bow and stern aren't much of a problem. I capped the last 8 inches of the S&G hull with a piece of 4mm ply and they will be getting end pours. As soon as it stops pouring outside. (I knew I should have gone with 18 foot ceilings)
