More support frames.
I had no work today, so sat home and redesigned my Hull mould support structure, here it is. Should be beefier than my last one, and hold all the stanchions real nice like. Just need to move on to the foredeck and we should be rollin again.
From the renderings, you might want to consider diagonal strapping corner to corner on each frame section. During the build process, you probably will be loading one side more than the other, and the unbalanced loading may cause racking of the strongback as rendered.
A spinning laser level for hanging ceiling tile strapping works wonders during setup. Shooting 22 cal tapcons into the concrete fixes the strogback to avoid accidental alignment errors halfway through the build process.
