Hi Jacques, Yes, but the timber was not quite thick enough and there was a concern that it would crack, I added two stainless steel bars one on either side and it works perfectly. The boat has gone out some 50 to sixty times (i have lost count) I am very happy with her. She is a beautiful boat and I always get comments from other boat owners.
Hi Karl, in this picture you can see the bottom of the motor just touches the water in the up position.

A very nice build. Is there room in it for a potti?

Yes there is, I built the floor lower than plan so that you can sit on it with cabin hatch closed.
I also added a map/cooking table on the other side, my feet fit comfortably in the lowered cabin floor area an I sit on a flat section over the centerboard that George suggested I add to prevent slipping when entering the cabin

Hi,
Yes I can conform there is room for a porta potti in an AD14 or AD16. I did it a bit different than Salvatore.
I left the floor at the planned level but made 2 hatches with lids one can open to put the 2 feet in the floor and then one can sit like this:
and this is how the floor looks at an early stage:

Hi Salvatore,
Thank You so much for this new video, for me still building the boat it is so informative to see such a close up video because on no plan one sees the sheets and the fittings let alone the sail in action. I think I will make myself also such a chart table and use it mainly for coffee. Did you make it to fold away or is it fixed ?
Greetings from Karl
