Collision Bulkheads
Each hull has a collision bulkhead forward.
In event of collision damage to the forward part of the hull water will not flood the hull past the collision bulkhead. In addition, in the event of capsize the collision bulkhead is designed to keep the hull forepeak dry allowing a safe habitation place for the crew. The starboard hull incorporates an "escape hatch" on the inboard hull side adjacent to the collision bulkhead which allows easy access into the boat should capsize occur.
