[Public-list] "Technical" photos

Now that I am on the brink of actually pitting things back on good old #148, I would be interested in looking at some photographs of how other owners have "set up" their boats relative to the deck hardware (anchor, mast base, winches, travelers, cockpit, dodger).  I checked the A30 site and found allot of delightful pictures of social events but nothing of a more technical nature.

When I bought the boat, I took about 100 photos of everything I could see (some proved to even be in focus) which I hope use to figure out how to put things back.  Since a picture is worth 1,000 words (and probably about 6-1/2 Page postings), I wonder if others have taken similar "record" pictures of their boats that they could share.  I have a web site for 148 and, as soon as my 14 year old teaches me how to post things, I hope to put my pictures on it (nothing like a close up of a delaminated taffrail [sp?] to perk up your day).  Does anyone else have a site I can reference?  I am specifically interested in seeing pics of stuff like; 1) where spinnaker guy/sheet turning blocks go, 2) how others have set up the base of the mast to run lines aft, 3) relationship between dodger and forward winch, 4) how anchor is stowed (deck brackets, pulpit brackets, bow roller), 5) those fancy traveler set ups, 6) alternate ways to set up cleats aft of the cabin house (previous owner had SS angles bolted to outside of combing that held cleats horizontal, functional but far from elegant), 7) places in cockpit to mount instrument cluster, compass, manual bilge pump & shore power plug.

Thanks so much,

Roger
