The first project was a Mid Boom Sheeting arrangement that moves the mainsheet completely out of the cockpit. My goal was to open up the cockpit so I could install a really big Bimini. In the worst knock down conditions, there does not seem to be any structural issues with the coach roof supporting the mainsheet loading. The only disadvantage to this arrangement is that the mainsheet is out of the reach of the helmsman.
The second project is a hinge arrangement for the lazarette hatch. The boat came with the hatch just sitting over the lazarette. You had to pry it open, and put it aside while you dug around in the lazarette. With this arrangement, the hatch is easy to open, and I always know where the hatch is.
The last project is a Chart Table on the starboard side, replacing the settee and pilot berths. I have installed a swivel captains chair so I can have a comfortable chair to read in.
