Day 57 - foot braces, handles, and hardware

Busy night last night. Installed the foot braces for all 3 cockpits. Those were screwed directly through the holes I drilled a couple of weeks ago. I then tied on the hardware to hold the seat backs up. You can see the red and white rope off the seat back.

Also installed the carrying handles at the bow and the stern.

Lastly, drilled all the holes for the installation of the padeyes. The padeyes are the half loop plastic things that hold the deck rigging. I played with the shock cord a little to see how it will look and figure the best way to run the cord. Have 3 other sets of pad eyes to install, do a little touch up on the finish and...done.
