Chuck. Please stop at "I'm not an engineer." You are correct in the window muse. The design does add to overall deck stiffness which contributes to structure stiffness. This is not to be confused with increased righting moment by anyone, I hope. Regarding floorboards, do you mean the sole o

I'm not an engineer but I do re-engineer many systems they dream up. I think the fixed windows do add strength and without them the structure has to be weaker. They help support the coachroof which does create an arch between the flatter deck sections. Also, floorboards. You might stiffen up

Evan, I had them make rails for a J30. One of the rails was broken in half. I sent them the rails. They made the new ones to match. I also measured the crown of the cabin top. Unless your cabin top is absolutely flat, you'll need to give them an idea of the crown. It's important because the

Evan Tips: Remove the old handrails. Get templating material from your local canvas shop. The material resembles a clear(ish) plastic tarp. Template both the old holes from both sides and send with both of the old handrails to whitewater. I had expected the rails to be symetric and for the woode

The laws of physics make sonar quite good in deep water with steep-to obstacles. A vertical reef wall sticking up from 1,000 feet deep to 5 feet deep could likely be "seen" a quarter mile away. A shallow sloping sand or mud bottom might be detected a boat length ahead. IOW great in the Bahamas and
