DSC01059 A detachable hinged swing out bull horn for my VHF. I can have the horn pointed around the companionway hatch toward the cockpit and hear it. I mount the mike on my bell bracket, on the outside of the cabin bulkhead sometimes for easy access.
DSC01156 The stainless steel Gin Pole for mast raising/lowering comes apart for easy stowing on board. I use this, plus my boom vang with extra long braid line attached, to do all my mast raising/lowering.
DSC00758 New CDI FF-2 Roller Furler. I needed to raise the furler drum about 5" to make room for my anchor roller. So I added a tang to my bow stem plate. I use a press button fast pin for the fore stay connection to this tang. With a Johnson Handy-Lock on my backstay, and the fast pin on my forestay, mast raising/lowering with a roller furler doesn't get any faster than that.
DSC00993 New stainless steel sink and stove compartment for the the galley, plus a new shelf over the sink. I have since re-stained all the cabin woodwork to a dark red Mahogany color since these pics were taken.
DSC00731 This mod is my treasured brain-child. What a bear it was trying to get my old 48 quart cooler behind this step having to move settee cushions to slide it in back and into that area. Now, I merely remove the step, and place the 50 quart cooler over the two step supports.
DSC00730 Detachable companionway step makes it easy to get the 50 quart cooler in and out.
DSC01050 In this pic, Penelope is posing with my anchor caddy, Fortress Anchor on it's roller, and the raised furler drum on the fore stay plate.
