My KR2 is a bit wider (40" at the shoulders), but I created a pattern at the back that was fairly flat across the top. Then: 1. I cut a groove for the front of the canopy to rest in in the fore deck. 2. Next I floxed in the front and rear of the canopy into the fore deck and the turtle deck (with a layer of glass on the outside. 3. When those were dry (24-48 hours), I drilled through the side walls just below the Dragonfly canopy, 4. placed drilled wood strips on the inside of both sidewalls, 5. placed short backing strips at each hole, 6. floxed where the canopy would attach to the side walls, 7. screwed in molly bolts until the canopy was firmly held to the floxed areas, 8. glassed the spaces between the short wood strips on the side of the canopy. When this dried, the canopy was held firmly, but I then added a glass strip (and peel ply) along the whole side (each) to make sure and ease finishing.
