: I don't know what Nick does the end pour for you'll have to ask him. He may
: be part of the Connecticut Navy and use his bow for ramming hostel New
: Yorkers.

: I add small wood blocks to the internal tips of my boat stems to have a solid
: section to drill through for grab loops.

: I don't use laminated stem peices. I fit my hull glass and trim it so it
: follows the shape of the stem exactly inside and out. You can mark glass
: to cut by dragging a pencil across the cloth. The fibers will be dislodged
: and indicate your cut line. I make a epoxy/wood flour fillet inside the
: stems and then reinforce the internal and external stems with a layer of
: bias cut cloth.

: Then I fit a block of wood aproximately 3" long X 2" high into each
: stem tip. Glue in place with thickened epoxy and seal the bare wood.

: I drill the holes for my grab loops 1" in from my deck top and 1"
: in from the stem edge.I've noticed many builders drill their holes back 2

Rob, I like your Style!
