[Public-List] Reinforcing the cockpit sole

[Stephen Gwyn]

Hi George,

Yes, the cardboard V (or U, or ideally some sort of square shape)
glassed over is exactly what I had in mind. I've also heard of foam
shapes used, instead of cardboard.

What I was looking from from the group is whether anybody has actually
done this under and Alberg 30 cockpit sole, and if so, what special
techniques they used to glass to the bottom of a surface in cramped
quarters.

Alternatively, one could imagine a few solid oak beams under the
sole. Or even aluminum angle stock, or an I beam extrusion. One could
steal a section of toe rail off a C&C for example...
