Storage, There's Never Enough
Keeping things neat -- Stan found a bungie net with built-in hooks at WalMart and used it to corral the bilge pads stored in the engine room, more convenient than the fishnet we used on the shelf to the right.
MJ's clothes locker with gray nylon shoe storage bags on each side and a new, airy shelf in the middle.
MJ's locker slopes with the hull shape. It Vs at the bottom and expands to four feet at the top, where two permanent shelves are built in the back. The front part of the locker was intended for hanging clothes, but the rod was removed and two divided hanging shoe bags installed. Clothes don't stack very well against the hull, so Stan built another shelf out of fishnet. It provides a flat surface, and air circulation. He also installed a removable fishnet wall to solve the problem of MJ's clothes all rolling off the shelves on starboard tack.
Quarter berth storage
Wider angle of quarter berth
The "garage" was piled high with typical garage stuff, anything one could possibly need, use or want someday. The day we tacked over to starboard and the vacuum flew out of the garage was when Stan decided to anchor some of that precious junk. He installed removable, adjustable poles to cleverly corral both lumberyard and fabric warehouse on the outside wall. Other launch-able objects, like vacuum cleaners, are secured in the back of the quarter berth.
