Doug,

Your right about the cabin. It was made to hold two sleeping bag bunks
and storage for the coleman stove and lamp. The living was done under
the boom tent and boat cover, when at anchor or nosed up on the beach.

The shelter cabin did have sitting head room (More or less) It had no
head. It was a Chase & Sanborn Yacht. He sure did have a lot of time on
it.

No Oz,

Etchell is a good keel boat..I ran into this Lightning when I still had
my Canoe. He use to handle bad weather like I did. We'd run for the
beach. I'd pull the canoe above to high water line, pull the mast and
turn the hull over prop up with a paddle and close the open side with
the sail. He would run the lightning onto the beach, set the tent and
wait out the storm. He had a lot more comfort than me

I'm afraid you couldn't get an Etchell to far up the beach

yeah Oz,

I've seen a lot of Etchells dry sailed off the trailer. It would be a
way to go
