I was sadly thinking the same as Chris above - even on say small trawlers anything big has to be cut out because the boat and decking is built around the big lumpy mechanical fittings........and seriously hoping the odd Manx Faceache rumour i've seen about the concerns with ease of turning in the harbour aren't true either..

Have not seen those rumours but she is much lumpier than the Ben so will catch the wind more, however she appears well provisioned on bow thrusters so I'd be surprised if there was a problem.
