Not bad at all! But here is a good reason for INSULATING a boat....just listen to the racket , and he is not even sailing :)

Jeez, P.L., if you don't like the sounds of gently lapping water, maybe you should pick a different hobby!;)

"Gently lapping water"......L.W.,is that the same as tender dripping water drops from a faucet, AKA chinese water torture ?

Pretty much, only louder.

Pretty much, only louder.

And thar be the reason I originally suggested insulation....to save ones mind from rotting itself to hell from the "gentle"noise :)

That's incredible beam for an 18' boat, interior is SPACIOUS

The beam is 'only' 7'10", which is fairly typical for trailer sailers these days. The trick to the spacious interior is that 'Swaggie doesn't have a cockpit. She's meant to be sailed from the inside.
