Thanks Chris. When considering designs for trailer sailors I was concerned how dark they can be below deck. This design admits plenty of light perhaps at the risk of proper proportions. I ended lowing the cabin height 1.5 inches and have no issues sitting under the cabin top. Dare I say, it looks more proportional in the flesh. The cockpit is deep and is additionally protected from the cabin. The deep cockpit comes at the expense of not being self draining. So far no problem. The only water making its way into the cockpit has been from rain.
