FellowPotterers:

Would appreciate any recommendations/advice/info on suitable additional
flotation to be added to the after-section of the quarterberths.

I have received excellent engineering info from Mac/Enigma/ECPA, but am
looking for empirical assist on How/What/Where available, hopefully from
someone who has done it.

Since we do not use the Q-berths for sleeping, just stowage(I built a
`thwartship bunk for the 'Skipper) I am looking toward removable foam
blocks(homemade, about 150# +/- buoyancy each) to be coupled together via a
line between the cockpit well and inner transom. Idon`t want to foam-in-place,
but am thinking along the lines of filling a
pre-built form(plastic laundry basket,etc..?).

Thanks 72 y Paz Grover HA`PENNY WWP-19
