Boathook and Paddle Holder
The smaller the boat the more important to have a secure and organized storage for things. I discovered the telescoping paddle and boathook both fit cross ship against he inside surface of the transom. I had a little shock cord hook fitting left over from Chebacco so I extended the cord and screwed it onto the doubler plywood. Nice and tidy and ready to deploy.
Sail Tamer Furling
I saw this clever idea as 'Stow-A-Way' kit sold by DuckWorks: https://www.duckworks.com/product-p/bb-sawsts.htm. Very reasonable at $24 but after experiencing the brutal shipping charges to Canada I just bought the component bits and made it myself.
The idea is the bungee cord is permanently attached in a crisscross fashion on the underside of the boom. Plastic hooks are positioned on loops midway. When the sail is lowered you simply stretch the bungee loops across the sail bundle and hook the two sides together. Works a dream in the driveway but certain this will be great at sea too.
Footwell Grate
An neighbour at our old home gave me some boaty bits after her husband passed. Included was this nifty snap together rubbery grate. Assembled and cut down a shade with utility knife it fit
beautifully. Thanks Lynn!
