Great video, let me know how yours goes.

: I am planning on cutting my stripper into a 3-piece once I finish
: glassing and joining the hull. This should happen in the next
: couple of weeks, if all goes well.

: Here's the best resource I have found so far:

: I plan to use a latch system to join the sections, so they'll each
: be completely sealed and for ease of use. I'm debating now as to
: what material to use for the bulkheads. They need to be fairly
: strong, so I would guess that plywood might be a good choice (or
: cedar strips) and maybe lighter than a strong enough layup of
: just fiberglass alone? I could be wrong there and would
: appreciate any suggestions.

: The other problem I will have with my Njord boat is that in order
: to get three 6-foot sections the front joint will be nearly a
: foot farther forward than where I would ideally want a bulkhead,
: to brace my feet on and keep cockpit volume low. I suppose I
: could fill that extra space with foam blocks ($$ would add up)
: or add an extra bulkhead to create an additional hatch area
: (would add too much weight). Or just forget about having equal
: length sections.

: I'll let you know how my progress goes...
