Rob, there were a few questions, but I lost track of them. Here is what I can remember...
How did you think to do folding bows with strings?
Hinge on the deck, string(s) through a hole and tube in the hull and tensioned.
If stacked beams, and beam on deck of lw hull, how does lw bow folding work? Notch the deck, or the folded bow?
Doesn't fold back all the way, adds a few inches to the length. Or reverse sheer in the bow section.
It seems the anchor box needs strength. What if the ww cabin seat was the anchor box/toy box?
No reason why not. I suspect either/or the outside seats, tender, toybox , cabin width or lee hull height will be the cost of folding/telescoping.
If we deepen the notch for the cabin door/cock pit area, can we put the winches on that box too? Then one might have a foot well for bracing in bad weather.
Winches can go pretty much anywhere that is suitable.
Step on the box on the way out to the deck proper?
The idea is to have 12' ww hull+ cabin + bench box, and assumes the bench/anchor box/toy box goes over the lee hull when collapsed.
Your thoughts?
Could do. See above about compromises
