Bud,
I was shocked to find out how noisy my P-19 was the first time I slept (or
tried to) in it. It certainly wasn't the peaceful, gently rocking womb I
had been anticipating. Come to think of it, I had a similar surprize with
scuba diving - all those bubbles rushing past your ears...
Actually, the centerboard was my third complaint. The waves slapping the
hard chines was what I found to be the most annoying (not such a problem on
an extremely calm night, of course), second to that was the lighting wires
clanging inside my mast. Centerboard third.
I fixed the wire problem by pumping some insulating foam inside my mast. I
don't know what to do about the other two, though. I don't know if it's
prudent to stuff your ears while at anchor, but next time I'm planning to
bring some earplugs along.
I'm still looking for other solutions. Suggestions?
