02 / 22 / 00 Before placing the coaming around the companionway I drilled spigot holes and coated them with epoxy.
02 / 23 / 00 By using two coamings one on each of the opening and overlapping by 1/2" with scuppers the drop board will be held in place firmly and should be quite dry.
02 / 23 / 00 The companionway with the covers closed up.
The companionway door was cut in half at a 45º angle from the original piece of the cabin bulkhead. These 2 drop boards make a conveniently removed, stored and water tight door. I should have cut the door an extra 3/8" higher than the bulkhead, since the cabin roof adds that much to the cabin top. I glued on an extra piece to the straight cut of the doors to allow the cabin to close up tight.
