Which is inefficient use of plywood. However I can be accused of the same 
as I put in a lowered, flat, 400 mm aft deck for the rudder to land on and 
control lines to exit from under the curved aft  deck. That means there's a 
cutout piece of ply (looking for something to be done with) from where the 
cockpit goes.
