Reply To: Cabin access

Hi Talfryn
And welcome to the association.
As a single hander I'm not the best to comment on some of your questions, however —

I'm sure that you have seen the general description of the HT26/27 under “Pat's Designs” page. Stoop-throughs are only available on the HT27 when using a single engine + hydraulic drives (twin props).

As I understand it the partition in the aft cabins in not structural and could be removed – I've seen this done – however I would prefer to leave it in place and cut an opening in the partition leaving a “frame” in place that you could attach a curtain or w.h.y. for some privacy. It might be best to talk to Pip Patterson for his opinion on this.

I have the single outboard mounted in the cockpit and the boat needs a cricket pitch to turn in! However with twin props you get phenomenal manoeuvrability being able to turn in it's own length, one prop going forward and one prop going in reverse, be it twin engines or a single engine + twin hydraulic drives.

Hope this helps.
Mike
