That's not right is it Bruce ? The floor's as wide as the hull side not the cabin side, because the hull is a rectangular trough. Maybe I'm being pedantic but I count the superstructure as the cabin side and if the floor was that wide you wouldn't have any gunwhale and your cabin side paintwork would be extremely vulnerable. > Bruce (now at Upwell, having survived my first Denver -> Salter's Lode > crossing) We'll done !
