CHAPTER XXIII
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS
DRAWERS
Evidently, you must utilize as much of the space!
in the boat. We have found that even though a sx-orage!
area can cotriain more material if it is accessible from!
the top, drawers are far more convenient to use. We,!
therefore, suggest that you use as many drawers as!
possible. We have found it very annoying to have to!
remove a mattress, open the top and search for something!
that you will eventually find in the next locker. Note!
that the drawers must lock in place when they are closed.!
BACKREST
We believe the backrest in the dinette area is an!
ideal place to store canned goods. If you arrange them as!
shown in our sketch, it will be relatively easy to use.!
CHARTS
Charts take a lot of space when they are rolled or!
folded and develop folds that will eventually tear. We!
have, therefore, designed a very accessible vertical!
storage area, using the "Plan-Hold" (#77) system in a!
compartment adjacent to the navigation table. These charts!
can be grouped by territory on the sane unit.!
ENGINE ROOM
The engine room compartment under the cockpit is an!
ideal place to store tools and replacement parts.!
