CHAPTER XVI
SOLES
The time has now come to install the sole!
and the following should be kept in mind:!
HEIGHT!
a) the sole should be as level as possible!
(when we say level, we refer to the waterline);!
b) the headroom inside the boat is very!
important, not only for those living aboard, but also!
for potential buyers. To insure the re-sale value of!
your boat, keep the headroom at least as high as!
recommended in the plans, regardless of your own!
height.!
LEVEL!
Do not be concerned if the sole does not reach!
the furniture on both sides. Even if there is a slight!
angle in your sole near the furniture, it will not!
cause any inconvenience. In some cases, it could be an!
asset. If you expect guests taller than 6'2" or even!
6'3", we suggest that you lower the sole to gain more!
headroom. You could add 4" of headroom but do it only!
if necessary.!
