Carpentry and upholstery - do it yourself ??
Carpentry, upholstery and construction mixed-up
All the carpentry and upholstery are in as wel "Pacific" as in the "Atlantic" the same, the kitchen is slightly different..
Now we have to look at the carpentry work ... What did we say; simple and strong ...  So plywood is the only option, and for reasons of economy, painted. As well we do not destroy tropical forests !   Cheaper ply can be used, and only the "capping's" have to be made of hardwood. Also the connections has not to be made SO precisely. We can repair all imperfections with filler, and sand them before painting ! This is really the way to make it easy for the "Do it yourself" boat carpenter. With "flush deck" hulls, the problem is always 'head room'. For the doghouse version this is about 1.80. Sailors who are toller has to think over  the Pacific 1050, with her 2.20 M. headroom in the saloon.
