Aft cabin hatches to lazarette - Mk I

[Ekutney]

I have an early 86 C34 MK1 & have exactly the same glass bulkhead in the aft cabin, no aft water tank.  I've thought about use of the space & those doors look like they provide good access.

My boat initially also had a 200 liter water bladder under the after berth.  I still have it but have not reinstalled.

Derek,

What do your companionway steps look like? how many steps?

these are mine:

Hi Ed,

my companionway steps are the same as yours.

Ed,

Those companionway steps were the original design, and were modified sometime after your hull #42, and I also was on Al Watson's #55 (Kindred Spirit, now owned by Dave Commando).

They changed the upper step support, like this: 

I don't know what hull # they made the switch, but sometime between #55 and #224 (mine) and I know #214 had steps like mine (the late Bill Eddy's boat in San Francisco).
