I had to spend some extra time on this stern section due to dropping the stern during the turn over process and the hull landing on the post and cracking. The butt straps in the pictures were lengthened and extend down into the stern area. They were tapered to fit into the tight area, and notched to cover the surface of the exposed area. We screwed and glued them in place, then added the fillets over the entire structure. It is now very stiff.

Actually, it is too long for building purposed when it is upside down. After you turn it over, you are supposed to cut off part of it and add the upper section and butt straps. You didn't do anything wrong (except when you added the upper part before cutting off the lower part.) As you said, it all worked out...it's all good!

Can you post a picture of your completed (or near completed) Galley and head area to you profile. I would like to see what it looks like.

Regards
