After living aboard for many years, finding and making storage space got harder  as the years went by.  The two key thoughts were to keep the heavy stuff low and out of the bow and stern as much as possible.  This boat design can carry a lot of weight and still perform well. We were usually down about  6 inches on our lines, and she still sailed safely.  Hope these ideas help......................01-DSCF1155.JPGImage Enlarger
