 And some more pictures






Closing the companionway always makes me smile the cat sticks its tongue out
and then it gets a "tongue piercing" - 
maybe I will make a video




From left gennaker halyard - jib halyard  - main halyard -  jibsheet jammer
then on the lo profile dodger - topping lift -  kicker - reefs ,2,3,1 that work the reef tack - boom brake - extra cleat and  then jib sheet jammer - main halyard - jib halyard-  gennaker halyard. However - the extra main halyard can be used as a topping lift and then there will be 2 extra cleats available on the lo profile dodger that can be repurposed for other jobs that I have in mind.

the boom has an outhaul and reef cleats for the clew cringles -  as I am running a 2 line reefing system with all boom reefing done on the outside of the boom  - simple,  less rope and less chance of jams and line snarls inside the boom and also the boom can be lighter. All of course IMHO.




Inside looking forward main and jib on port bunk with one of the twin mainsheets . All the reefing lines for the boom on the bunk insert/ chart table - shackles and lo friction rings on handrails along with Rosie and Jim the hardworking crew, under the bunk insert chart table are the spare split companionway hatch covers , starboard berth with yoga mat, foam fenders, daggerboards, the floor has thick close cell foam for kneeling, note that the mast bulkhead has the collision door removed at the moment.
under the bunks are rope, spares, clothes, extra blocks and fittings, tools, crocs, foul language weather gear, sea boots, harness etc etc




On the left hand side we have the yoga mat, the removable roving solar panel lives on the yoga mat at the back , mainsail battens - and the daggerboards and  below companionway - cooker box, and step   and on RHS -  2nd jib - gennaker - storm jib  - zenbivy sleep system , thermarest inflatable mattress - and a very big beanbag for sleeping on the floor or anywhere else and a real pillow.



Bow compartment -  battery on the left, lifejackets, anchor, chain, warp, bucket, fire extinguisher still needs to be fitted once decided where, flares and safety stuff in container, 10 ltrs water foam fenders, and some other bits

so basically add food water and maybe some other safety bits and ready to go. Oh and also the windvane
