New Work
This boat has been recently reconfigured such that a new cabin top has been fabricated out of corecell and fiberglass to replace the original cabin top.
With the new cabin top the pluses are:
1. MUCH better navigation visibility... front and sides (this really is HUGE for these older Geminis. It also corrected a leaking problem in the front-facing ports... and... as they were in a plywood frame... it was rotting from all the past leaking... and really needed to be fixed)
2. Extended cover for the helmsman (the old top extended less than a foot into the cockpit... I extended the new cabin top another foot - creating a "realistic" cover at the helm).
3. A platform on top has been created to mount 2 or 3 125-watt solar panels... enough to live-aboard on the hook.
4. The new flatter top allowed for the creation of a rainwater catchment system.
5. Hand rails will now be in the ideal place for accessing the top deck from the cockpit (the old set up was such that the small handrails were all but useless... you really couldn't reach them... and they were too small to really help you going forward... a serious problem especially given the slope of the upper deck as you step up onto it from the cockpit... I will be able to mount new handrails EXACTLY were they are needed now).
6. More headroom in the cockpit under the cover... up to 6'-2".
7. More headroom inside - fore and aft - port to starboard - and up to 6'-3" headroom in the salon... over the whole salon platform aft of the settee.
All in all, it will be a substantially better boat for the change.
