Matt, Where or how do I find accurate transom and temp frames dimensions? Kinda thought the main frame would suffice but seems the profile and dimensions differ. Transom I could pencil out after the hull is stitched and glassed. But the main temp frame and the small frame frame (I dont have drawings...

Matt, Where do I find the large and small TEMP FRONT Frame dimensions and transom dimensions??? All other parts are ready for assembly...just the two temp frames and transom need to be sketched out and cut. Please advise how to proceed. I am in Manila today to buy epoxy. Internet on the island is al...

Are spacers inserted between each stitch to ensure uniform space along the entire length of panel, floor deck, whatever to be glued with epoxy...or are spacers only used where there is a hard-spot? 2. What is the recommended procedure--- a light contact (just touching)- of p...

Right, so thru hull cable routing for a rudder is a no-no and after consideration maybe not a good idea. Is there anyone out there in the distant blue yonder that can suggest or detail a proven way to route rudder cable and what route or suggest a path to follow?

Matt, Done some serious reading re stitching. What is your recommendation - zip ties or copper wire? Do you have a recommended width x length for zip ties and approximately what number of ties at 4" spacings would I need for a Sabalo? Please bear in mind I have to carry all ancillary fittings t...
