    Hi, I am building a Ness Yawl that I will mostly sail alone on the Chesapeake Bay. Love your fore and aft decks and hatches on UNA – do you have/sell plans for the decks and hatch > Thanks, Doug

    1. Hey Doug,
      Come sail with us in the TSCA chapter we have. Called The Old Bay Club. Good group of sailors with various boats. Several Caledonia Yawls.
      Sorry, no hatch drawings. Did it by eye and simply made sure a milk crate would fit through. With rubber gasket under hatch, they aren’t water tight, but I’ve never had water ingress. Keeps most of gear dry. How far along are you? Spring launch?
      Good Luck-
      E
