Anthony, Would you be able to give the dimensions of your cockpit?

It looks very similar to what I would like to do with Wolfhound.

Hi Stuart
The cockpit on Go Krazi is approximately:

130mm width forward
110mm width aft
40mm deep

The cockpit is very functional and comfortable.

Keep up your efforts on your boat - we reckon our GK is the best all round boat we owned/sailed in more than 40 years of sailing!!!!

Dawn & Anthony

Thank you for those measurements. I am assuming that you meant cm rather than mm.

I've started a web page on Wolfhound http://www.nomadichome.com/blog/sy-wolfhound/ which I will update as time progresses.

re go crazy cockpit, i would be really interested to see how changes in cockpit have altered layout below and would appreciate seeing pics, it sounds like those changes must have increased room below significantly, possible room for double birth at rear with extra storage bridging engine compartment, has there been use of strengtheners around that area? ? how do u think this has affected balance ie weight of crew higher up in boat as cockpit raised, do u use dodgers and spray hood to keep out of the weather ? do u think rigidity of boat is altered. i look forward to hearing from u regards phil/ geligknight

Hi Phil,
Re: Go Krazi.
The cockpit sole is about the same level as the top of standard GK seats - so we sit on deck with tiller extension or snug down just sitting on the sole - surprisingly comfortable!!
We store the Mercury 3.3hp under the sole (from down below}.
We have a comfy double berth across the cabin just inside the companion - made up when needed - otherwise she basically has a port quarter berth, starbord settee berth, galley in normal position,two bulkheads with loo and storage in between and two berths forward which we use for sail storage.
We have a very practical and pleasing spray hood, the dodgers we do not use at present (sprayhood down generally when sailing).
The boat seems well trimmed/balanced where ever we position ourselves.
The hull seems pretty standard - different keel though.
She sails well in all conditions and never ceases to put a smile on our faces!!!!
Sincerely
Dawn & Anthony
