In Response To: Other: 'Glove box' ideas, please! (John Abercrombie)

: I'm thinking about putting a 'glove box' (small locker fwd of
: cockpit, accessible from paddling position) in my current
: project and I'm looking for ideas and pictures.
: I don't much like keeping 'stuff' under the bungies in front of the
: cockpit- not very secure and salty.

: I notice the 'Whisky 16' by Nigel Foster has a box, but I can't
: find any detailed pictures of the implementation under deck.

: Also, has anybody worked out a system for glove box + stowing pump
: under-deck? (I was thinking of off-center box...)

: Getting the size right may be tricky- big enough to be worth the
: trouble and extra weight of hatch lid, small enough not to
: impede exit/entry and leg movement. ??

: Thanks
: John

Interesting... I was going to put a pair of bulkheads behind the cockpit about six inches apart to make essentially the same thing.. a reachable storage for water, snacks, and maybe a paddle jacket... but just putting the rear bulkhead right behind the seat and putting in one of these right behind it will be more convenient as I can make it shallow enough to get to what's in it.....
