*?!** bulkheads

OK - removed the bulkheads again and cut the corners away to allow for clearance of the inwhales when ready. Started to insert my spacers between the chines. These are in the form of cut up lolly sticks. Once inserted the copper wire is twisted to pull the panels together and nipping the stick in place. I've only done a quarter of the boat so far.

Also removed the overhanging lower bilge section previously mentioned using a jigsaw. I then had to remove some material where the panels meet for better fitting.

I think what I'm going to do is to part glue the joins (tack weld) then remove the spacers and wire then properly fillet the joins and tape over the top.
