: I am close to putting the deck and hull together on a Guillemont double. I
: finished the minicell foam seats, hatch, cockpit coamings, etc., almost
: finished with the grab loops. Is there anything else I'm forgetting before
: I put the two halves together? I haven't installed the foot braces or made
: the bulkheads, thought I would wait and make sure they are in the right
: place. Thanks in advance!

Here's something: get a comfortable chair, and a beverage of your choice (beer, coffee, whatever). Set up the chair in a place that offers a good vantage point on your work. Then sit back, enjoy the beverage and ponder your progress thus far. Such a device has been referred to as a "thinking chair" and it can be an important tool. I used to have a nice plush comfy chair for that purpose, but when I moved shops it was gotten rid of since it takes up too much space. Now I use a folding camp chair.

Cheers,
Bryan
