Looks like over sills to me, can see the weld penetration in the rear pockets, I'd say inner and outer sills need doing with correct outer sill.
Check in on this thread and everything about over sills is explained.

Cannot see the outer sill correctly but judging from the damage you have in the companion bin then you certainly need inner sills, inner sill stiffener, outer sills and possibly repairs to the heelboard end.

Have a look at the Project Paddy link in my signature below and you will see what needs to be done exactly.

By the way open a Photobucket account it's free and use that for your pictures to load onto here. When your pictures are loaded on there click on the IMG CODE and it auto copies the picture, then paste it to your thread or any thread you are taking part in.
