After reinforcing the deck to hull joint at the stern, I made out of G10 a couple of large/oversize backing plates for the cleats and re-bedded them with sealant. Should be much stronger and more waterproof now.

Made a small cut-out in the bracket connecting port-side bulkhead and beam. Will need to powder coat it in the TheShop to make it look good again.
Started work on brackets that will secure holding tank cover.
Made new backing strips for jib tracks and added padding to the starboard-side backing plate for the winch.
