Those of you that stay aboard for a week at a time know that storage is at a premium and once you really get sailing things you thought were stored start to bang around. I have decided to build a storage cabinet in my Hunter 26. Since no one ever sits on the area next to the head wall I am thinking of building it in as if it was always there. I plan to attach it to the head wall and the port berth/bench. I am planning on cutting down the cushion to fit. My best guess is about 16 inches wide by 19 inches deep with five shelves including the existing bench. This will allow me to buy baskets to fit on each shelf for easy storage and a door to keep it all in place. Any suggestions or comments?
