: I'm a bit new to this, but I've not come across a need for removing

: I've read says it's removed well before you properly join the
: hull and deck, which have to be separated anyway to glass the
: interior - or am I missing something?

: Cheers, Ian

No, you got it right, the internal strongback is removed prior to glassing the hull and deck together.

Some of us only use external strongbacks and forget the specifics of using an internal one :)
