    Hi Hector, unfortunately I don't have fotos from the interiour. But it is pritty according to original plans only I have 75 cm more from the berth towards aft, so we turned the charttable by 90 degrees.
    The boat is not only streched by 75 cm the hulls are also wider. This gives about 900 ltrs more boyancy.

    Hi Hector: Good to hear from you. I would build another design. The beam troughs are a pain. Troughs in the cabin roof are much preferable. In our cooler climate Courtenay, BC, Canada the air is trapped behind the beams and does not circulate when the heater is on. It makes for a very dark and stagnant air space. With other designs one can build the berths so that they are higher off the floor and have greater width. The troughs are also prone to rot--I am going to try and eliminate them and raise the whole upper structure. MarkH

    Hello Hector,
    The cabinroof will be curved both in a forward-after and in a sideways direction. This adds a lot to its strength and riggidity. I have now completed the cabin tops for the starboard hull and will install them in a few days so I will be able to post some photos.
    The overall increase in the height of all the cabins (fwd, center and aft) is 5cm so the that the looks and windage of the boat wont be affected a lot. I hope all these modifications will work well.
    Greetings,
    Manos Amanakis
