Unless I am mistaken, because the surface is not flat, I think we will need to have a base pad under the windlass. I have a friend who will make me such a thing but we have questions on what material we sho...

Hi Gus We are also planning on installing some sort of shelving system in the Nav area where you did (I saw the pics). I was trying to think of some way to build an integrated shelf, to limit the number of screw holes in the sides. Your way looks much easier to construct though. Are you happy with h...

How are they normally done? This is how ours was attached:



We took lots of pics when we disassembled everything for winter storage.

Thank you Tom!
