Hi,
Hi,

Let's take the theoretical case of a P15 sailer who does
not reef or close the cabin when he should, who has added a little
weight to the forepeak for trim purposes, and whose cabin
has devolved into nothing more than a wet storage area for wet
sails, paddles, oars, and other small gear. How could this
theoretical sailor conveniently add significant flotation to
said cabin, to give himself a little safety margin?

I've seen versions of this question asked before, but never
any answers. To just about every question I've asked, at
least one person has come up with something crafty, off-line,
(usually the same 4 or 5 people) so I'll bet someone out there
has a good idea.

Thanks,
Mike
