... I need access to the 3 rear starboard bolts/nuts of the rail on the outside of the ledge. these are probably behind the closet in the aft cabin. Can I somehow remove the closet to access the hull/deck from the inside?

Yes you can, but it involves removing the water tank, cutting out the shelf that's tabbed in and then the aft hanging locker can be removed.
I needed to reach the water fitting in the same area.
I just cut a round hole in the ceiling and closed off with a small port.
I went in OVER my shelf for the rear water tank and got up to the deck fill for said tank so I could replace the fill hose. This can be done without removing the closet "box". Clearance is tight and if you drop anything, its a gonner between the liner and the hull.
Holger : Is the genoa track that you are talking about in the recesses on the deck or do you also have a track on the top of the gunnel ??
A thought
.... on the top of the gunnel.

Hogler : The only way you'll get to those nuts is to cut in a Beckson Port (screw in cap)
Personally, if I seldom moved the genoa car back that far, I just might ignore tightening them !!
A thought
Hope this helps with placement of hole.
The three bolt holes you see in the second picture are the rear pulpit front stanchion mount.
Your bolts are about 6 inches in front.
KH- Hogler has a Mk1.5, which may be different??
I thank you for the information.
@Ron: I don't just want to tighten them, I want to put the base for arch (I think that's what they call it in English) there.
