Project Log: Sunday, October 10, 2010
After removing the entire pilothouse sole structure, I
spent a few weeks performing death-defying stunts in
order to gain access to the boat. I'd set up a
rickety old mini-stepladder perched precariously upon an
ill-fitting piece of scrap 2x6 that was the closest
thing at hand, which at least allowed me to pretend to
be able to make the step between the cockpit and the
depths of the engine room, but I took my life--or at
least my health--in my hands each time I had to step in
or out. |

With other fall chores at hand, I'd not had much time
for any real projects on board, but with a spare hour
late in the day I decided to slap together a
construction ladderway so that I could more safely and
comfortably get in and out of the boat while the
pilothouse was disassembled. From 2x4s, I put
together a simple 2-step ladder that secured over the
fiberglass lip of the pilothouse door and which legs
rested upon the hull and bottom of the bilge. It
wasn't luxurious, or representative of fine
craftsmanship, but it'd work, and it was certainly more
secure. |
