[C320-list] door to fwd

[Adam Weiner]

Actually, it was pretty amusing to watch and I saw it all.  Even I
wouldn't have suggested working in the galley in those conditions but he
was one of my top hot shot students and he was going to make a great
meal.  First time on a sailboat and he was extraordinary.  I was at the
helm when he flew across and it looked like a cartoon because he was
basically vertical.

The life raft stems from a rescue we did in January, 2002 were we
arrived on the seen 40 minutes before the USCG who were allegedly, after
9/11, less than 2 miles away.  Since I often sail with my kids on board
and the Bay water is around 50 degrees all year I bought a life raft at
the next boat show.

Just out of curiosity, how did you remember that I had one?

I think that I am beginning to understand why you sail with a life
raft...

I took the v-berth door home years ago and haven't missed it.  A friend
flew across the cabin breaking the door frame to the aft cabin in three
places (he is fine) so the door has been off the aft cabin.  (Because of
the piano hinges the frame broke in several places and thus the question
about piano hinges on the doors.)  Thus, the aft cabin door is also at
home.  It makes it a lot easier to get into the aft cabin that way, but
the jury is still out because I haven't had my family aboard with the
door removed yet.
