[Jonathan Bresler]

Gordon,

Have not opened up that part of Constance yet.  The floor in the v-berth is
not in the best shape on #262. Guessing that our boats should be quite
similar given that they are within 13 numbers of each other. Look forword
to hearing what you find.  Photos as well?

Best wishes
Jonathan
