Linus,
Converting the chain locker and foredeck from Bill Shaw’s original weekender design to a really functional, two-anchor cruising set-up was one of my bigger projects on this boat. I think I sent a few photos to the group once or twice. Don’t know if they wound up posted anywhere. I’m afraid I’m guilty of doing many jobs around here without a lot of photography and documentation.
Given a little time, I could come up with an outline of what I did. It was certainly one of the more successful changes I’ve made, from the massively reinforced foredeck with electric windlass to the two-piece, removable locker divider. I did ultimately seal the bottom of the locker and drill overboard drain holes port & starboard. Have not done enough sailing yet to say for sure whether water comes in when heeled, but if it does it’ll run back out again.
Let me know if you’d like to see the photos I do have and I’ll send them or post them somewhere.
Tor
