[PCW] TomCat 24/Why we like it, was What's happening in your world?

Sitting here 8 days after a knee replacement and thinking of my next vessel.

Unfortunately the PT 32 is gone to a new home and I am not planning on 
building and so your choice is very interesting.

A question on livability with  the limits of a pair of new knees.

The one thing I am told is  NO KNEELING.

So How would it stack up, access to gear, lockers, head even the berth.

Anything you have to crawl too ?
