I've decided to omit the quarter birth cushions under the cockpit to gain more space for my extra gear storage. That box contains a lot of stainless steel nuts,bolts, washers, cotter and rigging pins and etc. It will be easier to get at the gear without that mattress. Plus, I'll get more use of that compartment under that hatch cover.
Taking the mast down with my new stainless steel Gin Pole. After releasing the furler I tie it off to the Gin Pole about 2/3s the way out with 1/4" braid line by taking a round turn around the pole and two half hitches after pulling the slack out of the line. The line is taken around the furler's vinyl luff and the pipe and held loosely in place with two half hitches around the pipe.
I found this to be the perfect spot for my Stern's Sunshower. I installed two fare-leads on my sliding hatch cover to tie the shower bag off. The bag is out of the way and easily accessible from the cockpit.
I'm planning on storing my Igloo 28 quart cooler in this Port side cubby hole along with other gear that I carry. My main cooler is a 50 qt. Igloo which fits nicely behind the companionway step in the cabin. I still have plenty of space for seating and sleeping on these quarter births.

The table is out of the way when I'm not using the stove. I'll slide the stove to Port when I want to use it or I could leave it where it is.
I have decided to use a single burner Origo 1500 instead of the two burner 3000 that I had been using for years. After changing my galley cabinet over I discovered that my table would no longer swing over the sink without hitting my two burner stove. The single burner stove will allow my table to swing over the sink if I slide the stove to Starboard.
DSC01007 I was in Rudy's shop one day many years ago and he showed me this centerboard pendant line shackle and told me that it would be a better shackle than the one that came with my boat. It has a small spool where the braid line is spliced which cuts down on chafing. I bought the shackle and did the braid splicing myself with the directions in front of me of course.
