Quarter knees, more battens

I ripped additional rub-rails on my highly professional setup. Works well if the weather is fine.

Quarter knees could finally be installed.

Glued and screwed to the transom. After epoxy cures I will also bolt them to gun-rails. They will double as mooring posts so they need to hold well and I don’t trust glue enough to not support the joint with some silicone bronze bolts.
Nothing too strong ever broke.

As a last job at transom I glued additional batten, cut at 27 degrees. It will support half-deck where the hatch will be mounted.

I could instead just mount a plank parallel to the transom, like some builders do, but I find it more pleasing with all deck planks going in the same direction.
Without this batten they will be held only at one end, risking damage if I jump on the deck just there.

All these glue-jobs always leave a lot of squeeze-out epoxy. I use it, after thickening, to make fillets in the bilge and flotation tanks. Up to now I filleted most tanks. Coming evenings I will focus on finishing fillets in the bilge so that I can paint it and lay deck.
Additional rub-rail will come in parallel.
