The "raised deck" design of MM21 means lots of room in the berths to sit up, compared to a trunk cabin design. The hull sides make a nice angled backrest:
That's all for now, I have all 4 hatches for the berths laid out, next week will glue the berths in, tape, and start working hatches. Working only a few hours each Saturday and Sunday now, so progress seems to have slolwed to a crawl, but better than the months I couldn't work on it at all!

Re: Guam MM21
Like Larry said, this is a big project, but is moving steadily faster than a speeding glacier...Decks are on and rubrails wrapped with two layers of glass and faired. A hole lot more fairing to do at this point, but my current thinking for this tug-style cruiser is that it will get Kiwigrip up to the rubrails, plus all decks, (like the pics of most of Devlin's tugs). which will mean a lot less fairing and sanding. But it is a big boat!

Re: Guam MM21
Yeah, my supervisor's great. Aspiring Jacques Cousteau - we did our first night dive last week, but all we saw was an octupus. Lucky to be in an area where you can fish and snorkel all year round without a wetsuit!
