Some sort of ribs/rails built into it at the right places to stop you sliding about. these would also serve as stiffeners for the deck [Beam to beam]

Good on you, let's get you sailing.

If it was Eureka Ca; Than YEP . We couldn't get the rear
cross-beam to telescope in the hull; so i had to cut
it in 1/2 to get it home. Bin sitten on it for Two years
now, time to FIX Her or SELL it.
I chose to FIX HER UP;-------------I Really Like sailing!
OH -- Just looked at your Location. HA !!!
==============================================

Few other things i was told to do since i'll be sailing it alone A-Lot :

1) Make a mast float --- anyone know the actual volume
in one of those ? I'll place the high point at 30%
but make it swivel at 28%.

2) Make a past-center tension for the side-stays,so
that the mast float is OVER the hull in the water.
This makes it EASY to self Right Her "WHEN" i Flip it.

3) Make TWO reef points on the Main by sewing in 11oz patches
and adding grommets for 5mm cord. Then place a Lock on
the swivel where the boom connects to the Mast.

4) Flip it when Ya got help watching & learn to right
her myself, that way i'm NOT scared to Push-It !!
