Christian,

You forget Greg has specially trained shipfitting ferrets that move through a boat like furred water with custom made aprons full of t-nuts and backing plates. With the aprons, they won't fit through the smaller holes, only the larger holes.

And they are fat ferrets, too. from the extensive biscuit reward system Greg uses to train these highly evolved animals.

Ask for the video.

No. Thats why there are 4 port holes on the parts list. Thats 2 extras to cut holes in your swift, they day you need to fish something out of there, or move something you dont like. :) There will be a special award for the one who reaches 4 port holes first...

The reason the holes are small, is because 5 and 6 inch hole cutting bids are expensive, and you are not likely to use them again.

One thing I noticed in some of the photos showing up on the web is
that holes in some of the bulkheads are fairly small. Certainly
they are big enough to equalize air pressure but nevertheless I
think its a good idea to make them reasonably large. Apart for
making the bulkheads lighter, which I think is a minor
consideration, you will find, oneday, a need to fish something up
from the inspection ports in the aft section. Maybe it will be
only a T-nut that you could do without but if you can get a wire
or line easily through that will make the job easier and make it
possibe to move things around, even new backing plates etc if you
ever decide to  move stuff or replace damaged stuff.
Something to keep in mind anyway

Robert,


 It looks great.  When do you think you'll be in the water (looks
like fairly soon)?  Will you be coming to Florida this winter?

Best regards,

Bram
