Pic of bedded and glued stringers, And pic of cap getting prepped for lamination of 3/4 inch ply on top of existing 1/2 inch. I want to beef up the cap a little more.

Default Keep up the good work

Kracker:

Can't see in your lastest pics, but I assume you have weep holes aft to allow and water to drain the the garboard plug? It also looks like your center stringer aft 90 is solid. You might want to notch the corner so water can drain from either side "JUST IN CASE"

Keep up the good work!

This question is for all you structual guys on here. I was thinking about returning my glass over my cap and tie it into the outside hull down the side about 2 or 3 inches. Is this a wise move? there is a reason why factory did not glass the insert or cap or guwals to the side of the boat. I personally think if I glass the cap in this manner to the side of the boat it will be a constant flex and crack issue ultimately leading to an astetic eye sore . Any opinions would be awesome. As you can see in the picture my cap is made of wood which Im gonna laminate a nother piece of 3/4 acx to to beef it up. Im then going to band the inside edge and outside edge with 3/8 acx router all edges and then glass with 2 layers of 1.5 csm. would this be a proper schedule for this application or should I go with one layer of 1708?
