Aft Cabin Port side Stringers done

Progress was held up by outside work for the last two weeks. Before that I was able to fit the stringers in the right locations. Some of them line up with bulkheads that I will glass on top of them.


I started glassing them in last weekend and was able to finish them up today. Each stringer has two double layers of 1.5Oz mat+ 24 Oz. Roving. They are solid and several will get a bulkhead glassed on top as well.

 
They sure look a lot better than what I tore out. They are much stronger as well. The old ones were only 1-1/2" tall and about an inch or so wide with straight sides. The new ones are 2" tall with a 60 Degrees slope to the hull the average width is about 2 inches, they are 1" wide at the top.


I was also able to strengthen the aft side hull to bulkhead glass work on the aft engine room bulkhead I added 3 layers of 1708 biax cloth plus one layer of 1.5Oz. Mat.
Tomorrow I will move all the tools from the starboard side to the port side and tear all those stringers out. Onward!!
