Kaholo 14 backing pads

So, I’m getting ready to glue in the handle reinforcement to the center stringer and was thinking are there other backing cleats that folks wish they’d added before closing up the deck?

   Kind of curious about the same thing.  Thinking about backing plates for tie down points or anchor attachment.

   What did you use for wood for the back plates?  would a peice of pine work?  Should I look for somethng else?

   I added a small block to reinforce the leash attachment point. It was on the last rib, just above the fin box.
