New knee for the forward chainplate. Note the old Pearson tab inside the new structure.

This is a "shelf" built under the forepeak bunk (gone). Custom water tanks are planned for port and stbd.

Well, that was the first of the series. Stay tuned. In about a month we will have more photos. If you have questions, please ask Ebb. All of this is way out of my area of expertise.
Holy Moley!
Ebb you have been busy. That is going to be one stiff boat.
Very nice workmanship.
Let me know if you need some new chainplate bolts. I have some extra silicone bronze screws, nuts and washers. The screws are a half inch longer than the original ones.
