May 17, 2010. Jim Robinson, Aquila, Pacific Dolphin #273 sent in the following improvement project for below his v-berth/forepeak.
Forepeak Project
|
|
The previous owner had replaced the water tank and holding tank in the forepeak. He gained the needed access by cutting out a large section of the liner as seen above. He covered the cutout (and entire forepeak) with ¾ inch ply. I wanted to stiffen the boat and install something a bit more complete looking yet removable for access to the hull area.
|
I reinforced the edges of the cut with 2X3 redwood pieces, then overlayed with redwood planks, screwed in and easily removable and covered with marine ¾ ply, set with screws.
|
This is the finished project. Next: Install a vent panel beneath the teak coaming.
