Leopard 44: Cabin doors on the Leopard 44

[capn_billl]

I love my Leopard 44, (4 cabin), but it has a deep dark secret.

To cram 4 heads, and 4 cabins in a 42 ft hull they made some compromises on comfort.

Namely the #$#&%$#& doors.

Every Head, and cabin there are TWO inward doors. getting anywhere on the boat is like tag wrestling a halibut. Not only are the doors in the way just to use the head, but they ALL seem to open the WRONG way.

Then I toured the NEW Leopard.

Apparently I'm not the only one who complained because all of the doors have been replaced with sliding (pocket) doors.

My question is, would it bee too hard, or expensive to change them out.

My next option (at my wife's insistence would be to rip them all off of their hinges, and replace with curtains.

The sliding doors were first on the L48 in 2016. They may have been on the L44 in 2015. I wonder if there is a storm damaged total with good doors you could use.

I'll call tomorrow, and see if they are available from the builder.
