Polystyrene under cockpitt - can i chuck it out?
Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2009 2:42 pm
Hi guys,
I am new to yachts and have found blocks of polystyrene under my cockpitt floor, they dont look like doing much, and could i throw them out so i could use the space for storage? I plan to fit a new floor to the cockpitt so now is a good chance to throw them away.
The boat is a van de stadt 32, its plywood racing yacht in Sydney Australia.
I asked 2 guys over here who have both been into boats for a long time, one said sling them out, the other said i should put them back in once i have finished work under the cockpitt.
Confused as to what i should do with them and the reasons behind it?
Cheers
Tim
