Inner liner will be removed and replaced with fiberglass covered foam frames(ribs) and stringers(spine).

All wooden elements are forbidden and are to be removed and replaced by composite materials (bulkheads and wooden trim). All structural components must be able to fit through the companionway prior to assembly.
