Zip: Floor battens installed

Once the half-lap joints were reinforced, it was time to install the rest of the floor battens.

Then, of course, I needed to start trimming them.

Those builders of Glen-L Zips who choose the optional 3 battens per side arrangement all seem to go about it a little differently. The battens on my Zip are all 2-1/4 inches wide. The inner battens are on 7-inch centers from the keel. The battens themselves are all on 6-inch centers from one another.

That's one milestone reached on this project, but a long, long way to go.
