In the interests of greater strength to probably the most important part of the boat strengthwise; instead of laminating the rudder/daggerboard assembly directly to the hull, a democratic decision was made to cut a 68 cm hole in the hull at the centre of the bulkhead (see first pic), then shove the whole drum assembly inside, suitably cut with slots at the bulkead, and spabond the whole lot in.
There will still be SOME laminating, hence the present mess around the drum, just a lot less.
