Just tidied up and had a look at what need to be done next. Its been 8 months since the last work!
Dry fit of cabin top deck. Still need to plane down the blocking to have the right curve for a proper mate. Notice picture two is a shot through the hole in bulkhead to inside of Dorade box and the blocking there still needs planing also. Just using a hand plane and then maybe belt sander.
Port side seatback panel glued and clamped.
Styrofoam cut and filled into cavities.  Last trim of the port panel and marked pencil lines for positions of bulkheads so I can drill the holes for screws to hold in place while epoxy cures.
Cabin top (deck) glued together. Epoxy mixed and blocks glued inside Dorade boxes.
Blocking for gluing down deck epoxied in place. Now to plane them down flush, drill holes for the Dorade boxes, glue together the two cabintop sides, and then attach the top.
All the cleats milled for bulkhead 2 and the rear cabin wall. Note the marks for wood to be removed with router.  Also the p and s for port and starboard. 2nd picture shows them rounded over on router and sanded with two different grit sandpapers.
