Here are some pics of Jeff's Sharny being built at Spudwerks.... This is a very nice BC kit! Prepping for the massive stringer invasion.... This ship has way too many dam stringers.... One side done.... Now for side two The 1/4" decking going in.... I used 1/4" ply for the deck and routed out a 1/8" rabbit for the deck lids to sit into.... Nice and seamless.... Guns in place... the VU in the background I stiffened the deck lids to prevent warping later on...
Hmm....if I'm going to use the "Football launch technique (Patent Pending)", I'll have to double and triple-check my mounting brackets. OTOH, she's not so tiny...39.5x5.9 inches!
Not sure that you want those decks that thick... it adds a lot of weight topside and Scharnies are sensitive to that.
You also could've claimed a stringer between the forward casement deck and the center casement, and likewise between the aft casement deck and center casement. The stringer way down deep I never claimed since it was such an insignificant feature that it didn't impede sheeting. Same thing with the one under the stern sticky-outy casements. Can you catch it with a fingernail? Yes. Does it impede sheeting? Not at all. Reasonable people might disagree, but Scharnie's pretty bulletproof as it is.
