I thought I would go ahead and put up a few more pictures of how we handled converting form the planned cabin to a flush deck boat.
The first picture shows the rear insert removed and the forward cover still in place. This is the way I envision the boat being sailed the majority of the time. Also, the companionway area will be cut out a lot more with a panel or hatch board added that slides in place like most other boats have.
The next picture is the forward cover removed to show the size of the opening. You can also see the foam braces installed under the unfinished front cover. I think that in light conditions, removing the forward cover would be OK and allow for weight to be forward but mostly it just provides easy access to the mast.
The bow shot just gives a view of how the covers look in place. Lastely, the 6 foot tall candy canes we are making for the local candy shop are painted white and are scheduled to be done this coming week.
