Unfortunately due to the sharp deck/hull connection, as stated previously, you still need the inner sheer strip to reinforce the area. Bjprn's method also allows me to install the bulkheads before the deck is installed. Thanks for stopping by, Dan Hi Erik,

Seam in and out, it ‘s all that ‘s needed IMHO.

Long answer: On each side there is an internal cedar sheer strip which runs the full length of the boat. It's about 3/8" thick. It's needed to reinforce the edge of the deck which gets rounded over. It also allows the deck to be attached to the hull with out a lot of internal seam taping. The inside seam is taped iniside the cockpit because, A: it's easy to reach and B: it adds extra strength to an area which will experience a lot of loading. Taping the seams inside the bow and stern would be very difficult due to the limited access in such a low-volume boat and they don't see a lot of tensile loads. Bjorn has been doing it this way on a lot of his boats with no ill-effects. Dan Bryan, short answer: Why Not?

Why only tape the seams in the cockpit and could you explain a bit more about the seams in the rest of the boat? I'm a little fuzzy on exactly how you did it. Thanks.

For such a small hole, the cockpit looks really roomy. You should have no problems with getting in and out. Just a bit of The Glenlivet. Nothing special... Scotch was my grandmother's drink. She give us a taste when we were kids and tell us "Not too much. It'll make you foolish!" When I have one I think of her... Later, Dan Hi John,
