OK, fellow junkies. Please help my memory.
I'm fitting out under the cockpit and am thinking that a good way to do this will be with shelves and plastic boxes. This should produce a (relatively) speedy solution and be lightweight. The boxes, by definition, don't conform very well to a boat's shape, so should also be instrumental in ensuring that the stern doesn't get overloaded.
The boxes that seem most suitable are 220 x 430 x 310H (internal dimensions). I shall probably buy one taller one for a 4l container of WEST epoxy with its pump in place. Now, apart from various pieces of wood and spare oars, can anyone think of something I am likely to require, that essentially comes under the heading of 'ships's equipment' and probably won't fit in one of these boxes? I was going to go through Hiscock's Commissioning List for inspiration (hardback copy of Cruising Under Sail), but the lady I lent the book to, has gone walkabout.
I have two tool chests, larger than the abovementioned boxes, which will probably hold my hand tools, both power and manual, with the possible exception of my long handsaw.
I'm sure you all have favourite things you can't do without, but what I'm asking for is a more general inventory, which contains something pretty hefty that I've completely forgotten about. Or never even thought of!
Anyway, it will be interesting to hear what everyone else stuffs into their lazarette!
