Making sure things don't rattle...
I am now at the point of getting into a lot of the little details. In the galley we are putting everything in its place...such as the plates in the cupboards to ensure they stay in position during all sea conditions.
I also decided to use the space under the floor in the galley and the main cabin for storage. Originally this was going to be a watertight compartment. However, there is quite a lot of room there which will be ideal for storing bottles of wine, or canned goods. There will be two secure hatches in the floor so if I was unfortunate enough to flip the boat the contents would still stay in the compartments.
The main cabins (Galley and double berth on the port side, and a double berth on the star side) will be completely watertight compartments. This will give three watertight compartments in each hull.

Hey Warren,
You're giving away trade secrets!!!!! Raoul might start reading these & finally figure out how to do a proper job!
Heard he got pinned with a 5+ million THB settlement to one of his recent clients last week.....1 down & 13 to go for the fastest man in Thailand.

HI Croc,
Be good if he did open his eyes and leaern something but, I doubt it.
I'm a bit behind the times at the moment as I hadn't heard about that particular settlement. If you have any more particulars and you are able to share it with me privately I would love to have them. I have a number of interested parties who would like to know more.
It is good news as I am sure it will encourage others that are following with their law suits. The problem now for them will be to actually get the cash as I am sure he will appeal and in the meantime I am sure assets will be dissapearing.
I sincerely hope that those clients who are currently in the middle of a build are aware of what is going on and ensure that they don't pay ahead of work completed and that their documentation clearly vests ownership with them and as such their boats are not seized as things heat up.
