158 : Modifying the cockpit enclosure and sorting out the roller reefing

When Nigel came and helped construct the basic parts of the cockpit enclosure frame he just tacked it together so that we could live with it for a bit and then make any changes we needed over time. Its a good job we did it that way because having lived with it we found many things we needed to change. In this episode Andy tackles making some pretty radical modifications to the design. We also get a few other little bits done around the boat and start preparing our roller reefing for installation.
