The two forward cabins offer a good amount of floor space and I have chosen to create floor board edge mounts which will allow me to create removable floor panels. Seen here is the forward, starboard hull cabin area. I've bonded the edge mounts in place with double bias glass tape and epoxy then used strips of peel ply to minimize the need for any sanding. Note: the cross wise floor stiffener is made up of multiple layers of 4 in wide core cell foam bonded in place with a full layer of 24oz triaxial glass. Each forward cabin will have two floor boards with the edges meeting along the hull stiffeners. This will allow me to create a shower pan floor board with a drain that will allow the bilge area beneath to become a catchment for the shower. A bilge pump can then be added to empty the used shower water.........as odd as it may be to some, a recirculating shower system can help to conserve fresh water by allowing ample wash water flow which can then be finished off with a final fresh water rinse.

cool idea. say, i was reading about the F41 you sent a link to, and he mentioned taht he thought it a good idea to build some beefier points on each hull to accommodate haul-out work, so that when a yard doesn't have sandbags but instead puts the boat down on blocks that the boat doesn't get damaged. you planning on anything like that? I note that his boat had kevlar cloth as well, but still got damaged..
