[Rhodes22-list] Galley Storage

Mon Dec 28 12:24:06 EST 2009

I went to walmart yesterday and found all of the Sterilite clear plastic containers I was looking for.  I stacked three shoe box size drawer units next to the ice box, two smaller clear plastic drawer units one below the sink and one next to the shoe boxes that hold up a wire shelf and then put a larger clear plastic container on the shelf that I might use for a trash can.  I also found a sealable clear plastic container that fits in each of the slide out drawers.  I should be all set for next season.  I will try to take some photos during my next visit to the boat.

Lee:

I installed the day/night nicro plus solar vent to replace my cowling and it works great.  The original battery shipped with the unit was bad and the manufacturer had to send me a new one but after replacing the rechargeable battery it is working fine.

Lee,
I use six clear stackable containers. I found them at Dollar General and  
they have held up well for more than ten years. Clear is good so you can see  
what is in them without having to open every container.

Chris,

Visited the boat yesterday for the first time  since the snow melted.  I had
mentioned previously that I don't get  much condensation.  Well I do now. 
The interior was soaked.  The  inside of the poptop was dripping wet and it
felt like I could wring water  out of the cushions.  I could blame it on the
blanket of snow and  other environmental conditions, but I just think I need
to air her out with  more sailing.

Took pictures of my storage under the galley.  It  made me realize that 90%
of the junk on my boat I've never used and the  other 10% I rarely use. 
Cockpit cushions, pillows, and PFDs take up most  of the space.  I guess 
it's
better than storing it all in the  garage.  

Had I to do it all over again, I would purchase all  air-tight clear
containers to fit snugly under the galley, behind the  sliding doors at the
back of the counter, and in the drawer underneath the  step.  The containers
are easy to find in any size and they keep small  things neat, organized and
dry--which is especially important for anything  that corrodes (like tools).

For what it's worth, here's my neatly  organized  junk:

I  have researched the archives and have not found much regarding options  
for
storage below the galley.  I have no shelving and used two  plastic
containers last season but would like to implement a better system  to
maximize space and accessibility.  I don't want to put in  permananent fixed
shelving rather I am hoping to find some removable  containers/shelves that
would fit the space.  Enclosed is a plan and  elevation sketch I prepared 
too
scale along with a second sketch that  suggests two staking baskets and a
free standing shelf on top of which  might sit a small trash container.  I
would be interested to know what  sytems others have employed and what you
think of my suggested  layout.
