Latitudinal stringers in Ring 20?

Hi, just in the process of putting a new deck in my Ring 20 and wondered if there was any point in placing some latitudinal beams/stringers between the two main longitudinal stringers running fore and aft. Would this be wise/worth it or will it just add hard spots to the hull and cause problems?

Many thanks

I wouldn't see the point in adding any transverse framing/floors between the stringers. No point in re-inventing the wheel, Ring 20 is a well proven boat and I dont think has any structural issues.

Creating work and adding weight. But in answer to your question, I doubt it will cause any problem if you do.

Ok cool, just thought now would be a good time to add any strength as im not looking to be in this position again for a good few years!! Like you say its lasted this long so has to be a good sign.

Cheers
