Thanks Phil

My one question to you is why don't you own a boat? After all you live in the great Northwest with lots of great places to go sailing. I wished I had had one when I lived on Whidbey Island back in the early 80's.Michael AndersenColumbia 22 #64"Seas the Moment"San Diego, California

1982 Newport 30 v 1970 Columbia 36

Having sailed the Newport around New York harbor for the last 4 years I decided to purchase a bigger faster boat and found a Columbia 36. She is a beauty and sails quite quickly however when it came to moving all my gear from one boat to the other I found plenty of room but very little storage space ( other than the aft lazarette ). I now have to re-think as to which items are essential to remain on board and where to store the remaining 3 car trunks worth of books and other "items one may need sometime- like spares" Has anyone refitted their Columbia interior to improve storage space?
