Cutter rig for a Senior

[John Slevin]

Hello all and probably Chris in particular
My Email enquiry to Chris did not get away so I shall ask here and hope for the best.
Can anyone supply me with the dimensions of the headsails on Shellduck please?
Also for someone who does not like cold water, how does one get on the foredeck
of a Senior when the side decks are so narrow. Mine will be at least 3inches wide
(approx 75mm if you think metric)?
Regards to all
