Hi Paul,

So was that the well being enclosed and not open to the air?

And on another matter, I was reading in Cruising Helmsman magazine about looking out for floating submerged logs around PNG/Indo.
This would be a worry on harrys. Perhaps an extra foot of bow that angles up to take the hit and ride up over the top of the log?
