The tubes are probably going to be inboard of the daggerboard cases.
There isn't access to the space between the cases and the chine.
Eliminating the fasteners for the latches from the chine is a good
idea because there are a lot of holes in the chines along there for
various screws or nails.
But I continue to think that simply putting a couple of tabs on the
outside of the chine that can be lashed together would be just as
good, and easier.

I will try to explain how the tubes and O rings work on a folding schooner or any other folding boat
Imagine the front part of the boat is about to meet the rear part, On the front part you will see two
2.1/2 inch tubes sticking out 1/2 inch from the transom these tubes have a O ring on them and
are as low down and as near to the chines as they can be.
When the two parts of the boat are put together these tubes register and enter larger tubes in
the other hull, you can see that to have a good seal the O rings need to be compressed as
they are under the water.
A lenth of seat belt webbing is fixed to the front hull and goes through the tubes to a Ratchet
Buckle fixed to the rear hull. Apply tension with the Ratchet Buckle and the hulls are firmly
fixed together. The tubes I have are P.V.C. so I will have to abrade them so the epoxy will
stick. alex
