Cockpit Enclosure

I have purchased a 1996 PDQ LRC in rough shape. Several projects underway to bring it back to great condition. I need help with the cockpit enclosure. The PO did not have one, but to sail in cooler weather I will need one. Does anyone know of a canvas shop that has made one previously ? Maybe have a...

Engine Room Access

For a heavy weight old man like myself access to the engine room via the deck hatch is nearly impossible. After reading Terry Green's idea of adding access through the shower wall I decided to create an access panel that would hinge up and out-of-the-way to allow Quick and easy access to the diesel ...

There are several differences.
LRC has:
Backstays
Stainless bow protectors with bridle rings for anchor bridle
Skegs to protect the rudders and balance the boat on the hard.
Diesels with saildrives
maybe more .....

Re: Stern mounted outboards

Wow, that sounds perfect. I assume that left enough strength in the bulkhead for support.

I will look into having this done to Reverie.

Thanks,

Re: Stern mounted outboards

Thanks for the the info Terry,
I have a short door in each shower ( Reverie has 2 heads ) but the access is restricted to the

Diesel panels

I have recently had 2 custom panels made for Reverie. I hated the panels mounted in the lazarett.
The new ones use a multi-function gauge as well as idiot lights.
The fuel shutoffs remain in the lazarette but relocated.

Stern mounted outboards

I am new to PDQ's but not to cats. Reverie is a 36 LRC and has 2 18hp yanmars. I have been reading the forum for the last few weeks while Reverie is getting a lot of upgrades. I have owned a main cat 30 with twin outboards similar to the PDQ and I hated the restricted access to the motors. I noticed...

Re: Dinghy on Davits

Thanks for the photos - it helps to see it done.
I am not too worried about a little overlap on the scoops.
