Also, I got Phil Swift to alter the cockpit stowage. Instead of small lockers with lids, I asked for lidless lockers with enough room to stow a 12litre fuel tank on the engine side and warps and fenders on the other. Works a treat and allows easy quick access. I also added two Sampson posts to the cockpit rear for mooring up etc. Very useful. Other shillings have the aft Henderson hatch cover in the deck. I thought this to be both ugly and impractical so I have it in the rear cockpit bulkhead. looks better and allows easier access to spare warps and fenders etc. stowed inside.
