I know it will be stronger, but my plans didn't call for it and I got lazy and didn't do it. I see some people do it and some don't. I'd be interested to hear what the designer says on this issue.
Yes I do. Cleats get much simpler in the back. Simple bevel on the outside face.

I had similar thoughts up forward; bypassing the cleats. Once everything is glued in with peanut butter and tabbed in place, I think for the bottom of a compartment it would have been plenty strong. But why not make it strong-er.

Stinger caps are done. Spent as much time as was required to keep them all flat and co-planar, which I believe will be worth the effort as this was my last opportunity to make a flat deck.

A few lateral pieces to add, and cleats on the outside.

Looks appropriately professional Dan, great work! Keep up the steam!

Looks good!
This is a good time to go back over your hull lamination schedule and make sure you have all the layers you are supposed to have everywhere, glass and tape, etc....
It is heart wrenching to discover you left a layer out after its all closed up... ask me how I know :)

Looks good Dan, now on to the frames. Agree double check every thing before starting to close it up. I almost goofed on my rebuild.

Sage advice, fellas. It could be easy to overlook something simple amid the excitement of closing up the bilge!
