[Rhodes22-list] Companionway cover storage read David's reply carefully

[jbconnolly at comcast.net]

I have the clips, but don't often use them.  I have found that the (folded) cover fits securely in the space between the icebox and the bulkhead, starboard side, outboard of the cabin step.  If the boat is rolling it stays put.  If you get into serious pitching (e.g., large powerboat wake) it can rattle a bit fore and aft.
