Cockpit seat tops glued in

Today and yesterday was the cockpit seat top project, a lot of glueing and clean up and filleting took place with a huge amount of boat yoga involved - getting your head, arm and a clean up / filleting stick, along with a cup to collect extra epoxy glue, into the aft flotation compartment through the  compartments access hatch, all the while trying to remain glue free, while your gloves are mega sticky is a major accomplishment, but - Job done!

Watertight hatches in progress, 

the cockpit sides and floor were final coated, then the framing was precoated with unthickened epoxy and then they were bonded in with thickened epoxy and screwed in as well, fillets were then added,

the underside of the cockpit floor with its epoxy coats was precoated where the epoxy glue is to be added

Bow flotation bulkhead hatch and above it is the mast bulkhead (will be watertight) hatch

 Cockpit parts have had first epoxy coat

The cockpit parts had the first epoxy coat - there is no coating where the glue joints will be so that when the time comes to bond them, in they can have a pre-wet out before the thickened epoxy glue mix  is applied
