(1) One of the features that is most striking in comparing it to the
P19 I used to own is that there is much less space inside. I would
appreciate ideas how to store needed (or wanted) items in the limited
space available. How would two adults live aboard a P15 for a period
of time (say up to a week)?
[Tom - I suggest that you regard the cabin on the P15 as simply
storage space, and figure how to "combat load" it so it is easy to
access. For "living" space, make a prototype boom tent out of an
8'x10' blue tarp and PVC pipe or whatever comes to hand for spars.
work wit it a while, and then make a final version that is water and
mosquito-proof.
While you are at it, I also suggest that you figure out how you will
take care of the usual toilet functions - some sort of privacy screen
that you can quickly set and strike while under way might be a useful
item.]
(2) What is the best way to increase the flotation in the P15...
[Suggest you review that last two months messages on the Potter list.]
(2) How do two persons who care for each other, and like to sleep in
close proximity manage it on a P15?
[No field trials on this, but I imagine that a couple of boards laid
across the cockpit seats with the boom tent up would work pretty well,
both as sleeping accommodations and play pen...
Good luck on this project. Please let us all know how it works out.]
