As many of you know I am replacing the stringers alongside the water tank hold due to extensive rot.
See my restoration thread HERE
I noticed that the existing stringers have a 1/2" gap between the hull and stringer. I was wondering if anyone knows the reason for this? Does it allow the glass tabs that hold the stringers to the hull room to flex? I was planning on filling the space between the new stringers and hull with thickened epoxy but now I am not so sure. Comments please!
