[quote=DanBerger]Thanks Dave, A lot of Nacra parts have migrated from Virginia to Canada!
The deck on the Nacras isn't really a structural piece (IMHO), it is glued on to the hulls after manufacturing. At least that is my understanding. If you had to cut it to get to the other side of the beam, you wouldn't have to make a serious repair, just have some kind of backing in the hull, then lay some glass on top and sand smooth. A port is not a good idea because it gives no structural support and they aren't always sealed. That and you always put one right where you want to sit.
Putting a port in the deck in front of the front beam on a Hobie 14, 16 or 18 is a recipe for disaster.
