: One question: On my BP plans, form #6 is forward of the cockpit. On
: your build, it seems the cockpit overlaps form #6. Did you
: modify the plans, or does BjornT change the cockpit position on
: different plans?

Per plan the cockpit should not overlap form 6. My customer originally wanted a fairly large, almost keyhole cockpit for some reason. He luckily changed his mind and went with an ocean opening. The one we went with is sized/shaped more like on the Japanese Waterfield "Qaanaaq." It's almost symmetric front to rear. It measures 560 x 410. The stock one is around 530 x 400.

Your fine.
