Hello Builders,
this week we finished the companionway and slide. There are three modifications.
- The drop boards are made of 8mm acrylic. The manual proposes 6mm thickness, but here only 5mm and 8mm seem to be available. We considered 5mm to thin and opted for 8mm.
- We mounted the hasp and staple upside down. My main concern with the original orientation is that my head will be in conflict with the piece hanging down from the slide.
- The endstop of the slide was implemented by a piece of 6mm plywood mounted onto the back of the slide, after the slide is inserted. The cleat at the front of the companionway opening serves as the actual stop. Taking the slide out for servicing just requires to loosen four screws.
