Reply To: New to Heavenly twins

Welcome Barry! Your questions in order. Only the later HT27s had the stoop through as they had more freeboard than the earlier models and just about enough height.

I don't think you would have sufficient height to make a second heads in that area.

I don't know of any single, central diesel configurations. If you are having the single engine, why not go the whole hog and have the excellent manoeuvrability of the hydraulics driving two propellers? The ability to manoeuvre with twin props is most useful especially in a marina or tight space, or difficult conditions.

The very early marks had some problems with enough support at the base of the mast. I think that the vast majority have been reinforced now, but you just might find an old one with mast compression, I know several surveyors very experienced in multihulls, if you need one at the time you buy.
