Bottom Paint and chart storage

Posted by Bill on August 11, 2003 at 10:25:00:

Hi Folks
I would like to ask 2 questions:[/i]

1) What is the prefered bottom paint for most of you? I have Micron CSC applied,
but it seems to slough off pretty quickly (increased veseel speed maybe?). The
boat is used in fresh water right now, but salt water soon. Any thoughts?
2) On teh 36, where do folks store paper charts? Even chart books take up a lot
of space. Has anyone come up with a clever storage arrangment?
Thanks folks

We installed 4 cup hooks in the starboard hull ceiling between the overhead
light and the forward cabin (just to the side of the chart table). We attached
two bungee cords to the hooks. Then we rolled the paper charts and slid them
under so that there is a bungee cord at each end of the chart. The guide books
store nicely in the chart table.

There is considerable space behind the main salon settee cushion over the water
tank. I removed the cushion, cut a fairly large hole in the backrest and hinged
the cushion on the bottom. Velcro on the upper part of the cushion holds it
closed. I store all my rolled up charts and chart books there.

I use Petit and have found it works well also. I built a chart storage area
under the nav station that is similar to what others have done on earlier boats

Contact me at tanahkeeta@coastalnet.com if you would like a picture.

We use Petit Trinidad. Seems to go a couple of seasons

I have heard that some people put large PVC Pipe under the table platform to
place rolled up charts into.
