Subject: Re: Storage inside TS 240 Author: Brian Wright [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22/08/04 20:48:34 In reply to: Mary and Henry Brown 's message, "Storage inside TS 240" on 22/08/04 1:05:39 Mary and Henry my experiences are as follows:- 1 The lining is thin. Screw fixings soon pull out. It is better to use a ply backing or use one of the hollow fixings available in merchants. If you lift out the trays you will see there is a lot more space, however using this space may take time and money. Some people have ideas of filling it with foam to make her unsinkable, I suggest lots of research before doing this as the foam needs to be closed cell and there are other pitfalls. I think the neatest arrangement is making up cupboard fronts with hinged doors and fixing them into position. Incidently the space beneath the shelf/backrest can be used stuffing gear bags or rucsacks into the space in such a way that you can still sit comfortably using the backrest. You will need to move them to sleep because you will then need the extra space. 3 I found some cheap elastic cargo nets in a motorcycle clothing store. Or use fine fish netting. I believe garden shops sell netting. 4 I use the space under the cockpit for a dinghy, battery box and a large spare anchor. The battery box will shortly be relocated at the bottom of the steps and I plan to fit a shelf unit behind the steps. 4a I preferred to buy a collapsable water carrier from a camping shop (or rigid if you prefer) and use it to top up You will need a funnel though. 5 Most seem to have a small "C" shaped table fitted around the keel case and sliding on top and bottom battens. Others have a pedestal table which can also be fitted in the cockpit using a second base. Paul has a simple but effective velco wrap around the mast base to allow the foresail to slide round without getting caught up. No doubt others will add to the list. I think the above will keep you busy a while. Regards Brian Wright [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
