In Response To: Strip: Am I forgetting something? (Don Jander)

: I am close to putting the deck and hull together on a Guillemont double. I
: finished the minicell foam seats, hatch, cockpit coamings, etc., almost
: finished with the grab loops. Is there anything else I'm forgetting before
: I put the two halves together? I haven't installed the foot braces or made
: the bulkheads, thought I would wait and make sure they are in the right
: place. Thanks in advance!

I usually install the bulkheads and the foot braces before joining the deck to the hull. I like small cockpits and I hate working inside a dark hole.

I also put a screw in inspection hatch in the fore bulkhead so that I can adjust foot-braces via the fore hatch.
