I got the bulkheads firmly attached and then moved on to the main ama panels.
These were wired together at both bows and then dropped as a envelope over the bulkheads.
Some of the bulkhead tabs required sanding to fit into the slots. The glass and epoxy had widened them. Future builders may want to skip glassing the tabs as much of it is sanded away.
Things fit together pretty well and the outboard, unsupported stations dropped into place. The stringers provide plenty of support for the bows at this point.
The next step is to taper the insides of the stringers where they meet at the bows. I took a conservative amount off of these on the bench, but they are still wide enough to hold the panels apart at the deck level.
Task time: 6 hours
