Too cold to get much done.

You can't weld when it is cold out and we are chilly again this week.

The v-berth area (or forward stateroom in yacht talk) now has deck beams.  The round uprights mark the opening to the sleeping area.  I climbed up and it is going to be very comfortable. There will be an overhead hatch to climb out to the bow for anchoring and catching lines.  The front cabin windows will be forward of the opening (doorway)  with the cabin roof about two feet higher than the front deck.  The top of the opening will be cut back so that you can stand in the v-berth area.  Very ingenious. 

Sleeping/storage area will have berths on each side. 

Here's another shot looking from the stern through the whole boat.  

The trawler is now officially for sale and listed with McCall Marine Sales.  So now John has to finish this one.
