Squarespace Site Server v5.9.2 (http://www.squarespace.com/)http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/bulkheadwana.jpg?pictureId=3086951Using the black and white photos from the fire, we created a design to pick up on the original Danish details while remaining functional and keeping the view to forpeak open and easy to get into when we're cruising.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/cabinnearfinalpaint.jpg?pictureId=3086978To repair the broken plank, cracked ribs and check all frames, the interior templates used by previous owner were removed. What a difference a year can make!http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/paxfire5.jpg?pictureId=3086989The original mahogany interior cabinetry had details I saw in several MSJ Hansen and Karl Thomsen built boats in Denmark. It was important to carry forward some of the "look" while modernizing the cabin for current function and to keep visual access to some of the remaining, beautiful Danish joinery and construction. This photo was taken in the mid-1980s by then owner, shipwright and sailor, Pete Lamb.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/p8280227.jpg?pictureId=3087000The original design of the bulkhead included a solid wall/cabinet here. I opted to leave it open to the forpeak, but double the bulkhead for strength and to gain back some of the storage that original cabinetry achieved. The curve mirrors Pax hull shape, and was originally something I wanted to pull forward from my years on Tethys. There, original builder had used cherry to create a gorgeous curved framing that gave a sense of separation between galley and main salon without solid walls.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/p8280228.jpg?pictureId=3087024Port bulkhead curve mirrors the starboard sid and joins to the center, Danish inspired look even with new 6'5" bunk in place. Fir ceilings from previous owner were reused to make this a functional storage berth with two hatches. Safety gear (flares, horn, fire extinguisher) will be stored close to companionway end. I made wood bungs, carved and prepped the wood for final oil/varnishing before Festival. Here, is the progress as of August 29, 2009.http://www.womanofthewind.com/picture/bulkheadfit2.jpg?pictureId=3087032Diana Talley checking and rechecking shapes and measurements prior to final install of the Wana. As with all old boats, modifications must be done on site as every plank, every frame, every piece of wood is a little different. This is the art, the uniqueness, the personal touch and contribution of every person and every part of a wooden boat.
