Had a strong young man handy today, so I flipped her back upright. Now I can go to town on the 2 miles of fillet on the interior, cabin and decks, windows, bash wales, leeboard, rude etc...
I'm going to turn the cabin into a slot top. It was bothering me how hard it was going to be to access the foredeck. Not a boat you want to go crawling over the cabin on. The cabin top is only @ 4ft long, so a liftoff hatch that can be slip fore or aft and dogged down from inside would be very manageable and easily stored inside. Liftout plexiglass drop boards for and aft, and i can actually work anchor gear on the foredeck without leaving the cabin.I can also access the mast and luff end of the rig if necessary no problem.
I wrote Jim about this, and he thinks it's an improvement as long as I come up with a secure way to dog her down for roughing going.
And a little video walk around
