 April 5,

I am getting into some detail on the interior. I will be adding shelving to the lockers. I have decided to allow 22 inches or 56 cm depth for the lockers. The rest will be shelving.

First prototype shelf. 3/8" or 9.5mm plywood with 2" or 5 cm walnut face. The face will keep things sliding off the shelf. I will likely add netting for rough seas.

Another view showing where the additional shelving will go. There is 10" or 25 cm between shelving until you get to to the small one at the bottom. There it will be 6" or 15.25 cm.  

The chain locker has a large open area in the forward bow section. I would like to finish that off nicely.

I spent some time fitting these two pieces of plywood to finish off the chain locker.

They fit more or less pretty well. There are two small areas or holes that need to be filled in.

Small pieces meticulously shaped to fit those holes.

Fitting the small pieces. 

Both small pieces epoxied in place.

I laid in woven fiberglass to extend the sealed chain locker up into this bow section. 

All glassed up. A few more layers of epoxy and some hard sanding is all it needs.
