Decks removed and OMG

Well the decks are off and as usual the areolite or cascamite had started to fail.

from the picture below you can see that the final section of the center spine aft of the rudder box just dropped of having been supported in place by the deck

just an example on the desk there was a section of ply that you would have thought possibly covered a hole, well it did this was possibly a quick fix for this 2 layers of ply on the casing and plenty of muck the stringer also had dropped but was not the only one i found this one was glassed back in place but also did not stick to the underside of the deck.

Having removed the deck a good number of the stringers were loose and were never fixed to the deck I am unsure if this was the intention for the deck to float between the center line and the gunwale but due to the process of treating all surfaces no addition had taken place
