Last night, I attached the blocking that will support the sides of the forward thwart. I used the same procedure as I did for the rear thwart, with one exception: This time, I taped waxed paper to the ends of the seat in order to keep from gluing the seat down just yet. Last time, I used the blue painters tape. Waxed paper works much, much better.

| 2 bar clamps hold the level to the plywood, keeping it straight; 4 bar clamps hold the plywood to the center support; four 4-1/2" deep C clamps hold the 2 pieces of blocking in place against the underside of the seat & the sides of the hull; 2 bar clamps reversed as spreader bars push the blocking against the sides of the hull. |
 |
| The waxed paper made it MUCH easier to remove the seat once the epoxy had cured, and left no mess to clean up or sand off. |
 |
| Due to the variety of angled lines inside the boat, the seat blocking appears to angle downward. However, I checked, and they are indeed parallel to the keel. |
 |
| Angle measurement on the rear thwart. |
 |
| Angle measurement at the aft end of the keel. |
 |
| Angle measurement at midship on the keel. |
 |
| Angle measurement on the center support for the front seat... |
 |
| ...and finally, the angle measurement on the forward seat blocking. Thats consistent enough for me. |
 |
| Heres the topside view of the forward chine that I had to add more material to 2 years ago. (I cant believe it has been that long ago!) |
 |
| Next, before I begin encapsulating the inside of the hull, I plan to add false battens to the outermost sections of the floor, just to keep from standing directly on the plywood. |
