Building the 'Samba': Continuing with the build of "Samba".
Side seat riser template being dry fit.	This is followed by fitting of partial bulkheads.
Port plywood seat riser being fitted.	Now both risers are fitted up and being glued to the partial bulkheads. Note spreaders at bulkhead positions keeping ply risers against bulkheads while the epoxy sets.
Seats run parallel until just before the main forepeak bulkhead, then angle in. Here the angled riser is being dry fit.	Angled risers glued up in pairs using spreaders to avoid screw holes.
Seat risers complete, lower junction to hull not yet glassed.	The mast base being glued. The socket was fitted later. It is lined with HDPE and has a PTFE base plate for the mast to rotate on.
