So after 2 years of building and finishing my GP14 I finally get to see another GP14 x 3 on the Association stand Sunday last. It was also good to put faces to the names of some of the enthusiastic association organisers. While inspecting the 3 GP14’s on the stand I became aware of a number of hatches that are cut into the floor etc. Mmmm my new build has none!!! I’ve since checked my plans and they say to cut 6 in total, 1 just forward and either side of the centre-board case. 1 either side in the rear floor just behind the side seats and 1 in each rear side buoyancy tank. Question, is this still the norm? Seems strange to me to cut holes in airtight areas so please put me right if really necessary.
