STOWAGE

A place for everything and everything in its place. It is important to get thing secured and easily accesible. That requaries a lot of detail and that takes time.

The arrangement for my bedroom is now nearly done. Today I finished lockers for my note pads. They are in A4 format and square lined 5 mm. Kollegieblock we call them and I really love them. I have used them since the 50-ies. They are exellent for drawing boats on using scale 1:40. One square then has a side of 20 cm, half a square is 10 cm.

Ipad and small computers also fit there. Two of these lockers are on each side. I use sliding lids. They work well I have used them on a few boats before 1968 the first time and on Exlex now 2018. The present ones are made of Tufnol a nice material I find.

Below some pictures.

The two sides. Port side the forward locker open. Starboard side both lockers closed.
The closed one
The open one
On the starboard side is a place for a one liter water bottle, the daily ration. Later I will secure the lids and the bottle.
I have now started with the anchor locker. It is below my seat between the lunch boxes. The pieces of carbon fiber is to be used for laminating a down holder on the chisel points of the SPADE anchors. I will bring three, 5.5 kilo, 9.5 kilo and 16.5 kilo. I hope I have never to use more than the 5.5 kilo one. The 5.5 kilo anchor will live assembled ready to use in the forward part of the boat.

To be continued…
