PORT HOLES?
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2015 3:11 pmHello everyone.
I am keen to see if anyone has considered fitting port holes to the hull of a CC 19. These could either be like those found on a Cornish Shrimper, i.e. round and mounted on the hull below the level of the rubbing strake or, my preference, fitted where the CC 19 "stickers" are now. I would prefer an oval design rather than round and would be happy for it to be fixed rather than opening.
I haven't looked at this seriously yet so would need to carry out further research as to specifications etc. but there must be a supplier (Plastimo?) with an off-the-shelf product that would fit the part.
I appreciate that once done, it would fall into the category of being a permanent mod so as my woodwork tutor once said, better to measure twice and to cut once to avoid mistakes! Any input would be much appreciated.
