Deck vents
Posted: 13 Dec 2015, 23:31
Hi all,
Just doing a mock-up with my glass hull clinker/ timber deck Everingham project before l start laying on the
?? ? ( probably 4 or 5 ) coats of Spa Marine varnish.
I've sourced some great deck fittings and managed to work up some alluminium "table edge " for trim around timber.. all polished
up and looking good .....
Looking for some advice /suggestions regarding some "clam shell " vents l've got ......
Was looking to mount them on the front deck section / bow similar to the ones on "Cherokee" in the CAWPBA
For Sale area .......
QUESTION. .....for authenticity, accepted practice, or lf l actually drill holes and want to use them as real vents
WHICH WAY SHOULD THEY FACE ???
They sort of look cool either way....and at this point of time they're really just a bit of extra bling ...not really
looking to use them as vents ......just dont want the....." you know they're facing the wrong way " and the ensuing
lecture on aerodynamics. !!
A good mate of mine recons to ditch them altogether. ..but he's not into the classic / wooden aspect .....
Beauty and / or crap is in the eye of the beholder but l'm interested in feedback if you've got the time
