[Public-List] Shelving in forepeak (mel martin)

[mel martin]

Thanks Gordon, your solution might work for me. I'll be able to find out in
the spring when I can move all the gear out of the forepeak. Right now the
salon is holding the engine and I am burrowing in the engine compartment,
uncovering a multitude of sins!

Best,
Mel

Hi Mel - 

We had the same issue with the ones in SURPRISE's forecabin.  We left them
as-is for about the forward 1/3 then from there aft cut them to just the
width of the flange glassed into the hull.  I put a matching fiddle along
the cut edge.  Up forward where your feet go the shelf is still as big as it
was; aft of that where your hips and shoulders are they are only a few
inches wide - just right for putting glasses or a watch up while sleeping.
