Dear Lee,
	I am intrigued by your (forced ) redesign of the interior. I would like to
redo mine as I am forced to take out some bulkheading because of freshwater
rot from deck leaks.
	Your idea for a quarter berth under the starboard locker is great, but the
height of the bilge in the old sink area on the starboard side seemed to
preclude it. It seems to cut off any width into the starboard sail locker area
unless you go very high, no? Maybe I'm wrong. It's been a while since it was
an active concern.
	I also thought of putting the galley where the head is and converting the
hanging locker across into a pantry/refrigerator and putting the head up
forward by taking out part of the port v-berth forward and putting a stand up
shower in the standing area of the forward cabin with an oversized pop-top
hatch in place of the hatch that's there, which would cam down for strength
while under way. Then, I would convert the rest of the port v-berth (the for'd
end) to a hanging locker, keeping just the one berth on the starboard side and
use the space freed up at the rear of the cabin for a nav station and settee.
 	But no plan I've come up with is completely satisfactory, even for a single
guy like me. I was wondering if you knew of a professional who might take the
job of designing an interior. I'd be willing to pay to know the dimensions and
that everything would work ergonomically before I get out the Sawzall.
	The only other way I know is a full size mock up interior from which to take
off patterns and dimensions. 
	How are you going about it?
Regards
Paul Cicchetti
