Flipped the boat over to work on the deck and seats. Turning it was quite a chore, so I've started to worry about the weight.

Don't have much time now to add to this blog so I'll bullet things for now:

* Removed material from the aft half of the deck in an attempt to lessen its weight. It is lighter now however still a bit heavy. Am now considering cutting holes in the hull frames to lighten the bow.
* Cutout the forward half of the deck
* Added stiffeners under the seats and hardwood framing around the holes in them
* Bought $20 worth of styroafoam balls to use as floatation foam
* Thinking of adding a small deck at the bow below the top to create a compartment for the bow line (and spinnaker?).
