Repairing and Maintaining a Mirror Dinghy

Here is the perfect place to ask questions, answer them and discuss the repairing and maintenance of Mirror Dinghies.

Evening all,
I am going to fit inspection hatches in the side and aft tanks and am worried about accidently cutting some internal joinery as I have already done fitting the front hatch. Where exactly should I fit them to be sure of not doing more damage?

keep clear of any area that has small nail heads showing. You can also try tapping on the wood. Keep clear of any part that does not sound absolutely hollow.
