We are looking for ideas !! We are interested to know how and where other owners stow equipment in there 320,s. Especially in the aft lockers. Also where is the best location for the autopilot compass? Pics would be great if anybody would like to share them. We are setting up for coastal cruising and looking for ideas from experienced owners to help us out. Regards.

Organization is your best bet.
Each person stores things in different places. All my lines for docks, extra anchor lines and chains and my third anchor are in the starboard lazarette. My buckets, fishing stuff and snorkeling stuff is in the port lazarette. My cruising chute, life jackets, fenders and the like are in the cockpit locker.
If you are setting up for a coastal cruise. Take a sheet of paper, draw all the storage areas you have on the boat, on the paper. Just like a floor plan for the boat. As you put food, spare parts, etc. in to a locker, write it down on the paper, this way when you want some thing specific all you have to do is look at your locker guide and know exactly where to look.
When storing canned god remember to alternate between the port and starboard side top maintain the proper trim on your boat. It is all too easy to get into a routine of storing "stuff" on one side, then look up at the mast and see a decidedly tilt to one side. I know I did that the first trip and had to start all over again
Have a great trip
