Skin-on-Frame: attaching seat to frame

Hello everyone and the best whishes for the new year, better late than never...

I'm nearing the completion of my Yost sea tour 15 exp frame and have a question concerning the attachment of the seat slats.

I've made 5 WRC 2x1/8" slats to function as my seat, same slats the 3 feet slats. I've covered the slats with fibreglas tape to make them stronger. They're approx 13 inch long and go between the bottom chines, spanning the keel. I'd like your input on how to attach them, making it possible to remove them if needed. No screws.
