Subject: Cockpit Support
Info: (24473 views) Posted: Wednesday 11-12-03 06:44:57 PM
I noticed this weekend that the 2x4 post that supports the cockpit sole appears to be trying to protrude though the hull. This is the post that the outboard clamps to when stowed. Tapped out and everything is solid, of course, but looking at the hull from the outside, I can see where the post and mat are deforming the bottom. May be a result of sailing with six people for several races this year....

I'm considering knocking it out and running a support (2x4) from the rear cockpit support (the plywood diaphragm at about the location of the aft end of the pipe berth) up to a support at the first and second (from aft) cabin sole ribs. This would also provide a platform at the companion way, as opposed to stepping on the cooler all the time. Any thoughts?

Also: any new boats ordered yet? Anyone going to Key West?
