Great no nonsense boat! Thanks for the post....getting great ideas for my rebuild.

That bunk is the best. Sleeping dry and comfortable is the most important indeed. Functional simplicity really matters doesn't it. I currently have a stout cruising boat (IP35) with hot water, pressure water, fridge, Ac and more but as they break and as we make miles, I intend to simplify as much as possible.

Of all the BOC heroes, Robin Davies is my favorite! Check out his southern ocean jury rig on Sailing the World Alone 1994-1995 . BOC Documentary.

Brilliant, could you do an episode or three on food, I don't think you've mentioned it yet. Sounds like Robin had opiniins on it that would be interesting to hear.
