This week we continue the work on the stringer replacements in the galley. If you recall from last week, we found that the stringers underneath the galley seating had rotted through. (See last weeks video here – https://youtu.be/pGoYLcjt1WE)
It was not all of the beams or even the length of them but was specifically where the beams went below the forward edge of the galley seat. Last week we identified the issue, removed the rotted stringers and devised and designed a plan for resolving the problem. This week we test several wooden joint options and install the new stringers in the boat.
This video will show how to plan, cut and install the new stringers. We go over how to shape the wood for the best fiberglass adherence and how to prepare the surface the install the new beams, supports and fiberglassing them into the existing part of the hull.
