d} NAVIGATION TABLE!
We believe the dimensions of the navigation!
table are mandatory. It is large enough to unfold a!
standard size map and has compartments that allow for!
orderly storage. The built-in hull side cupboard is!
designed for vertical map storage.!
e) FACING OF THE BULKHEADS!
You may use any material as the final!
surfacing inside your boat. Do not rely on contact!
cement as a permanent bond for material like formica!
and plywood. You should use screws which can be!
hidden by a moulding of some kind. If you plank it,!
use waterproof white glue or epoxy glue.!
Keep the interior of the boat as light as!
possible, use only light coloured materials to finish!
the inside. Avoid covering everything with dark wood.!
The lighter the interior, the larger the boat will!
appear. If the boat is finished in natural teak, it!
will have a nice rich appearance, however, after a!
while you will feel confined.!
Teak may be used if it is bleached three or four!
times before being varnished or oiled. We believe the!
ceilings should be covered with a synthetic material,!
plastic or painted, and all doors and mouldings!
should be wood.!
You should also install grab rails wherever!
required, especially near the companionway, at the!
base of the ports, in the pilothouse and overhead in!
the galley and dinette area.!
