Mast tube glassed and glued, hatches completed

I glued the kingplank in and installed the mast tube through it, gluing it at the kingplank and gluing and glassing it to the mast step. It seems plenty strong.











I found stainless steel piano hinges at my local hardware store. I don't know what quality of stainless they are, but I bought a 6' piece anyway and cut two pieces for my seat hatches. I got these fitted to my satisfaction and then removed them for epoxy sealing.








You can also see here the drain holes I drilled through the transom. I have two brass tubes to install after one more coat of epoxy in the holes.
