I soooo want to press on and get the deck put on but I know there are a few internal jobs I need to get done first….being sensible.
Having finished painting under the bunks one of these key jobs is to get the watertight frame to the forepeak cut to take the watertight door. Should be straightforward. Erm no..
I bought a couple of beautiful Bomar doors in a auction. They are great. But they are just slightly larger than the width of the gap between the bunks and when open they arc just a little wider at the hinge side. Which meant I had to slightly shorten the depth of my galley and nav boxes which were abutting right up to the edge of the bunks. Luckily I hadn’t stuck them down!
The bonus of getting the larger hole cut into the forepeak means I don’t need to contort so much between the cabin and forepeak now, luxury.
Hoses have arrived for the bilge pumps, I think they are the next job.
