Going forward, can we please talk about the placement of items before work starts? I am only a phone call away and I am happy to discuss it with William or Robert.
Bilge Pump Compartment
This looks really good, thanks.
We should have the second pump installed somewhere out of the way; perhaps on the forward side where the switch is mounted or opposite the other pump
The pickup for the bilge system next to the keel goes forward into the next area, which otherwise is completely unencumbered for storage. Surely there is a reasonable way to keep it in the compartment where the valves and handles are.
Please look at the red arrow below, if it could terminate somewhere there, then the obstruction in the forward compartment can be avoided.
Bilge Pipes
The bilge pipes obstruct access to bilge areas
can we have a talk on how to fix that best. Perhaps this is something I can take over, leaving you time for the more difficult items.

Below, this can be seen from the forward compartment
the pipe that is parallel to the keel needs to move underneath the frame, otherwise it obstructs the access to the compartment
Below, the same pipe one compartment further forward
here it obstructs the tank for the hydraulic fluid
below the pipe is the tank for the hydraulic fluid. the aggregate sits on top of it, to make sure we have space, we need to nudge the pipe towards the keelcase
Area forward of the companionway
This pipe goes right through two areas about 25 cm from the side. it is routed to the side further forward anyways.
also, the less space we waste for the valves, the better, but it needs space to operate, obviously
If we routed it to the side immediately both areas would be much more usable.
other side of the same
Forward of Quarter Cabins
Just forward of the quartercabins: woluld be better to get the pipes closer together (see arrowhead) [lets keep like this for the time being, but let's avoid this for similar situations.)
Let's leave as is for the time being, but having the right pipe much closer to the bulkhead would make the rest of the space easier to use.
Forward Diesel Tank
we need to keep the tank cleanouts accessible. we will adapt the floor supports as well. It should not be difficult to nudge the electric line over a bit
