Friday was a beautiful day and I had it off. I've seemed to have become a handyman for several clients. It affords me a lot of independence such as painting and sailing, and I appreciate that.
It would have been swell sailing day but opted to deep clean. I have had requests from online friends to describe the interior of Annie, a one-off Drascombe. So as I swabbed, I got these snaps...

You are looking aft, starboard side. The door is storage
under the bridge deck and the centerplate trunk is on the right.
I had just replaced the teak floor boards. The wheel is take-up for the
centerplate line that leads out to the cockpit. |
 |
| I made a padded filler to span the well |
 |
| This makes a level sleeping area |
 |
Storage netting extends around both sides with a
heavy bungee threaded through the top |
 |
Since I am rather thin I use a 2 1/2"
self inflatable mattress
|
 |
Here is the berth made up. It is out of the way with the
companionway on the port side.
|
 |
Looking forward there are two compartments with heavy gear: extra claw anchor
water and tools
|
 |
| With hatches replaced |
 |
Originally the centerplate trunk extended
forward. Since the stainless plate did not fill the entire well
I was able to make a substantial cut-out that afforded
more room to move about below |
 |
| Brass door "button" |
 |
| Small forepeak area beyond the forward bulkhead |
 |
| Small ventilation hatch |
 |
| Shelf for books, charts and registration papers with leather 'lee cloth' |
 |
| Aft cabin coaming basket storage for quick grabs |
 |
| Centerplate well cover with removable fiddles |
 |
Looking aft, port side. The companionway is above and the gusher pump
plumbing can be seen inside the bridge deck storage.

| Cleaning the cockpit bilge |
