Having spent some time to tape off the cockpit, I went back out tonight and got to work on the fillets. I made them reasonable in size, but not huge along the length of the boat. The right angles at the bulkheads allowed for thicker fillets, so I made sure those were solid. Of course, before I got started, I got my supplies organized. Unfortunately, that was my last Sierra Nevada...

I then glassed the cockpit and put in the glass tape in the bow and stern bulkheads, as well as giving everything a coat of epoxy.

I also put a layer of glass on the cockpit side of the forward bulkhead to beef it up, since I had to take the foot stretchers out when I sat in the demo model at CLC in order to get my feet in properly. I may put a thin layer of minicel foam in there for my feet, but at least this way I'll have some added strength.
