6.  New structure where the  old ¼ berth was with an unsupported hull panel.

7.  New battery platform that carries the CL Hat Frame to the ring frame where the motor was.

We have added more structure then the original boat, which was desperately needed.  One owner told me on the last Bermuda 1-2 he felt the boat twisting around him while sitting in the settee.  Then he could see the galley (which was not bonded together) moving. The additional weight is a small price to pay for a stiffer boat.  So we are fixing this by tying it all together.
