I put the scale on that sketch so I could use it later to pick off some rough dimensions! I believe the cap is actually installed a little further forward than shown in my sketch, so the hatch is just aft of the anchor locker. That will allow Carla to just stand up in the hatch to handle the anchor and lines without having to get on the deck! That's a good thing, because the hatch is so far above the bunks that she'll need a ladder to climb out on the deck! Haven't been aboard the boat for over a year so memory is a bit foggy, but I think the bunks are a little lower than shown. It seemed like there was a ton of headroom over the bunks, maybe 3.5-4'! That will be a very roomy cabin!
I believe they kept the aft cabin bulkhead about where it's shown in the sketch, but they basically slid the whole cap and windshield forward about a foot, so that will give Skip a lot more room aft of the windshield to mount electronics, etc.
Carla, I think posting some pics and sketches of what your're planning is better than waiting to show the finished product. There are so many creative folks on this site that there is no telling how many great ideas you'll get if you turn this bunch loose on that project! Denny
