Space between the main bulkhead and the new mast-reinforcement gives
a nice place for two "wardrobes", starboard for the skipper
and port for his wife (or whoever she is!).
Bottom and doors made from 5 mm plywood with a frame of strips of wood,
5 mm thick. Two small magnets at each door serve as locks.
These two wardrobes carry our entire vacation clothes (being mainly
T-shirts during summer time) as well as "the little black one"
for the boat lady when having dinner in a nice restaurant!
These wardrobes are much more suitable than the lockers under the
cabin seats which will always be wet when a little bit of water comes
into the ship – due to the lack of a bilge. This would spoil the
entire wardrobe!
The lockers are a good place for canned and bottled provisions. They are
kept cool under the waterline, even the beer is drinkable – well
nearly, to be honest!
But you will get used to it. And its much more healthy not to have iced
drinks in hot countries, the doctors say!
Above the wardrobes there are two bookshelves. We always have our
nautical books and the manuals on starboard and the "bellestristic
literature" on port: our cabin is cosy and tidy as I said already!
