Continue to work on the bow berth. Given that that rails glassed in are uneven, worked most of the day getting shims in place. It is level an I need to grind out some tabs in the very front bow to make it fit. Once done, I will glass in the shims, realign the bolt holes and screw down. (The tube in picture is again for the the anchor well to drain.)
Next is to do another bulkhead, to support the bow's berth on the aft. It is around one inch higher that forward factory cubby for the water. I will plywood across, and cut an access with small door in that cubby.
I am looking to re-configure the sink. There should be room to do, though no head room to speak, but this is a 22 not a Morgan 416.
On my list is a furler. From what I have read, it sound as it the CDI FF2 with Ball Bearing should work. Below is a sailnet entry from 2001 on the subject. Credit is given to the unknown author.
"Before sailnet was sailnet it was JSI. I worked in the hardware department for a number of years and sold Schaeffer,Harken,CDI,Profurl,and Hood furlers.In most cases the application determined which furler was best for the job.I attended the Harken tech school in Pewaukee and have tremendous respect for their company and products. Schaeffer is nearly bulletproof with excellent factory support. Same with Profurl. CDI is a great unit, in my opinion, for smaller boats up to about 33'' headstay. The Harken systems are top of the line and can be assembled over the headstay(removed from the boat) and then reinstalled by sending a man aloft and reattching the headstay complete with furler.Harken''s unit00 did have production problems at first. They tried coextruding PVC and braided stainless but the different coefficients of expansion of the two mat''ls just didn''t work. To Harkens credit they would not release this unit until all the glitches were worked out. CDI''s Flexible furler spawned the Harken unit,Schaeffers Snapfurl,and Hoods Sea flex. These flex units were introduced primarily for trailer sailors so as not to damage rigid foils when transporting their boats. In a nutshell, if you trailer your boat the flex units are the way to go if not you''ll probably get the best performance from a rigid foil system. Hope this helps.Good luck." Waternut...............
