Last photo is up inside bonnet area, ie plough plane upper surface which acts as front midline lift point, underneath which is tow point on lower surface of plough plane. sorry- that's a mouthful.

Thanks. Is this one under the nose/bonnet, or lower front plow plane. Bit hard to see. thanks again.

Inside hull view-You could of course use perhaps some underneath 6 mms chanfered ply at front, glassed under the plough plane (depending on what's in your workshop atm with large under washer under nut of lifting eye.
Ian uses aluminium sheet bedded onto a good dollop of PU sealant, (but I didn't have that in stock) and I am very comfortable with glassed in/over chamfered edges marine ply.
Under craft (plough plane) has a corresponding U bolt for towing!

Right and Left  under seat 6" X 3" chamfered 9mms marine ply glassed in and over with eye bolts.


Front (to provide a stable triangle on lift) is on front plough plane with differing layers of reinforcing glass on inside and outside.
This area allows craft to be towed as a resultant force of towing is front is lifted up out of water, rather than being dragged down into water using a top mounted tow eye

Hello Nick,               sorry to ask here but, as no facility is provided on maint. page; Your lifting eye is shown on the seat area & I'm wondering what type of backing are you & others, using, seeing that this is a major stress area. As can be seen in my photo, elsewhere, I'm at a stage where this is an easy mod. thanks.
