 Floor at companionway prepped and glassed and peelply-ed


Instead of having a plywood floor as you enter the boat, I have added some glass to the inside of the hull as you step through the companionway - it will give a tiny bit more headroom at the entrance, add less weight I think, and will strengthen the hull  and add abrasionresistance- the area under the companionway will get the same treatment as well as the area further aft - which will also strengthen those areas and also add abrasion resistance to anything getting dragged out of the stowage space under the cockpit  - BTW the outside bottom of the hull has had an extra layer of glass as well -  as It made more sense to add glass rather than a thickish layer of fairing epoxy to fair and fill the hull bottom.

sanded and prepped

Job Done!

AND A LITTLE WHILE LATER
I glassed the part under the cockpit sole as well.
