Gunni, what is a grid stringer?
It is the structural beam system under your sole decking. Lift the flooring panel just forward of your companionway steps and look on there.

Gunni, what is a grid stringer? I'm sorry, I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm trying to learn.

Ruffles have ridges. Inside the hull there are ribs which form arched beams or girders which support or reinforce the hull.

Ah, I see. The bits that run under the floor. I'll have a look at those the next time I'm over. Thanks!

Found it! Exactly where you said it would be. Stamped into the stringer in front of the engine. THANKS!
