cockpit sole support




I am having fun playing around with different alternatives and techniques.


So for the cockpit sole support between f124 and f169,5 I decided to build an I beam like Tim Ford used on his boat.


It is pretty easy to make, looks good and is really something out of this world as far as strength...You can just step on it and jump, nothing will happen. I guess it will also add a lot to the distribution of forces around the keel box.


The I beam was fully fileted and taped following what are now becoming standard procedures. I have also used 5 mns epoxi at the beginning to set the Ibeam all together before fileting.
