Niel, as to why I'm not sailing my own design;

William Atkins designed the boat I love..."The Little Maid of Kent." Why waste time designing a boat that meets your dream boat? The Maid is a wood boat.
Some years ago I missed buying one by one day. I have far to many things on my plate, to take a year building myself a boat. Most of my time is spent writing.


Atkin & Co. - Little Maid of Kent A V-Bottom Schooner by William & John Atkin ... The total sail area is 438 square feet and if Little Maid of Kent was built for my own use ...www.atkinboatplans.comLittleMaidOfKent.html - Cached

Neil , I am going to drill holes into the bottom of the inside extrusion joint, and drain it. It there is nothing in there, I will seal the holes with sheet metal screws. If I do find water, which I think I will, I will leave the holes open near the transom.
I'd like to remove the section of the liner between the mast step, and the hatch, and building that section in wood. Wish I had the time.

Neil, when you pulled your keel bolts, what shape were they in?
