Glue towing ring into place backed by a 40x28mm piece of oregon pine. It is as high as possible to winch the boat onto the trailer.

Glued and bolted the mast partner to the mast bulkhead and its deck beam.

Glued the floor support into place.

Glued mast step from 3 laminated blocks (each block 3 layers of 8mm ply). The middle block in the mast step is a kedge to compensate for the rocker at the mast position. Glued the mast step into place. When hard on the wind, the mast will provide a tremendous lever to push the mast step sideways so I fitted 4 stainless screws from the outside to keep it in place.

Fixed the forward deck stringers with plywood struts.
