Have you ever wanted to install cockpit lockers in your sailboat restoration project? This episode I install water tight hatches and lockers inside the cockpit of the Skipper 20 sailboat project. Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs. And when all else fails, I tell stories of boat motivation.

The hatch idea was a real improvement. Starting with a small boat, makes the project attainable😊

Those lockers look really great and I'm sure will be invaluable for good dry storage

Hi Joe, I’m really enjoying your videos especially when you do one on the Skipper. As a former owner of nearly 30 years, I look forward to seeing what you do with the boat. That being said, I really think you must remove the foam in the lazarette. Whatever it takes, the foam must go. Sooner or later, you will need to access the drain hoses and thru-hull fittings. Ask me how I know! I don’t think you need to make a plug for the bottom of the motorwell. In 30 years, the amount of water that came in this way wouldn’t fill a small bucket. More came in thru the opening into the cockpit and a small bilge pump fed into the motorwell handled that nicely. I noticed a small hole in the aft wall of the well. Maybe that was how the water got in. I did not have that hole on my Skipper. I really liked watching you struggle with the installation of the cockpit lockers. I had a similar experience when I added swiveling fairleads and cam cleats on tracks on the cockpit gunwales for my Genoa sail. You and I have similar builds so I know what a tight squeeze it is under the cockpit.

Another great vid, short, sweet and on point. One question thoughis suppers/dranage a consideration for lockers?

@motorcityboatwerks 3 ай бұрын

Thanks John. I think no need for draining the lockers since the hatches are water tight and the Skipper 20 already has scuppers in the cockpit. 👍😁

Looking at the hull of that sailboat, it would lend itself to a mini lobster boat by moving the cockpit forward. But that would require a lot more effort. With no profit.
