HI Nasraf
With ref to your blog with above name here are some photos of the cabin Installation as mentioned In your blog.
Here are also some photos of the yacht that I am busy with, very slow progress. Yacht Is 1.74m so It Is a good size to work on but will see how she sails one day.
will speak again

Looks like I was "cut off" with the above message.
Regarding the housing installation I think the most Important section that must be readily available is the pit area where the electronic /electrical equipment is in . By looking at the photos I would suggest that you silicon the rudder housing down.
I dont know what the bottom of the structures look like. What I did was to glue a strips of wood on the insides of the opening, extending approx 6-10 mm above the deck, where the house must come over. if you have enough clearance on the underside of your house then it fits over the strips thereby preventing water from washing in. Give me some time , need to take a photo to show you.

HI again Nasrat. Been thinking since last comment. Seeing that you have internal issues on the boat why dont you finish off the outisde and make a mould from it. Finish it off externally and keep as original as received as a static. Fibre glass a new one and you have all the space required to do the internals. Have also read somewhere that the RC J builders == build out, extend the keel profile to lower the c of g and to get weight as low as possible. This results in a bigger rudder but remember you have a big yacht.
Still thinking.

by the looks of the boat it looks a lot like the old J Class yachts. do some research to see any familarity. Just search for "j class yachts" on the net. otherwise u are doing a great job.
