We have already done a few upgrades and modifications on the boat, and there are some more to come. We'l put a report and some pictures on here, and might asc for advice every now and then.
This winter BA will go back to Rome, a former Canados worker, experienced carpenter and teamboss will do some modifications.We have in mind to :
- Replace a few panels from the inside Gunwale (wood is in bad state)
- Modify the copilot table, so that she can be lowered to make one additional bed/room (thanks to Jfm for the tip
- Make a locker in the side wall of the cockpit (near the saloon door) for storing brooms etc..
- Probably recaulking the teac floor (tbc)
- And a big modication on the stern;
* adding steps from cockpit to bathing platform,
* adding a transom door from platform to utility room
This shows how the ladder is now:
And here are examples how we like to make it:
look also at the transom door,
Canados, but without the garage,
Alalunga, but steps only on Port side
There is room inside, and the hull construction allows to do this (has been checked by the teamboss)
Reason why we want to do this: More easy acces to the platform, especially when carrying scuba gear. But it's important that this modif does not destroy the integrity of the boats design, nor the nice lines. Therefor I like to hear your opinions or advice on this.
Most difficult issue: what to with the door from the cockpit to these steps.
On many modern boats they make a small plastic or SSteel framed plexi door, but these usually look ugly
The best would be a big folding door like the newer Canados, or like on a SQ78, but this is difficult to make, and takes valuable space from the small platform (when divers are on it)
What does the forum think, any advice is welcome
