So I'm doing some interior work on Passage and I'd like a place for everything. I realize this is the impossible dream, but I'm trying.

The other day the Admiral asked me where she should place the crib boards for the companionway whist sailing and I couldn't say definitely where to put them. Said I usually lay them down on the quarterberth lip next to the starboard settee near the companionway ladder or stow them in the head area or vee berth.

I think Henk or someone created a crib board holder that's a wooden rack with a bottom bracket and a bungee that holds the crib boards upright underneath the lip of the starboard settee, or some kind of "magazine rack" gizmo attached to the interior bulkhead.

What kind of gizmo or clever spot do y'all use to keep them from crashing around the cabin during a squall or a near-field wake from a 50' stinkpot getting up on plane?

I use a divided fabric pocket that hangs inside the dumpster, on the inboard side. The hatch boards slip into the pockets vertically. The dividers keep them from scraping against each other. It's quick, easy and it keeps the boards out of the way for sailing, but quickly accessible for locking up.

My PO did just that under the starboard settee with three screw eyes, two on one side and one on the other, and two bungee cords between the eyelets to make most of a triangle that holds the boards in place. As far as I can tell, this is the only thing my PO did right.

I had one made from fabric left over from the cushions. It is mounted in the quarter berth. There is a pocket for each board

Boy, I like Solomon's idea! Puts them above rather than below. On the other hand, in a sudden rain squall...

Two concepts I didn't think of at all:
1. The Dumpster! Perfect spot. There's a shelf inside that would be a perfect spot to bungee them in.
2. Separate pockets - one for each board. I have an old flat sail bag and some soft foam sheets.
I also have a Sunbrella cover for the companionway to keep the spritz rains out of the cabin while underway. I usually keep that nearby in threatening weather.

I bought a hatch board bag from Catalina Direct and then lower it into the dumpster.

Nice ideas here, The mate usually puts them the V berth but I tell her to just throw them on the floor cuz everything in a sailboat ends up there eventually.

Hahahaha, you're right! I've got a large duffel bag now with foam board separators. I have been stowing them just behind and beside the starboard settee near the quarterberth. That's where I stow the cooler and it seldom moves very far. The colder holds the boards in place but I may add some hooks on the inside of the hull and some bungees there.

We fastened two rows of eye straps on the lower portion of the port settee, then ran two lengths shock cord between the eye straps. The crib boards sit on the salon floor, the shock cords hold them in place. Very quick to store and retrieve.

I like the idea of a cushioned bag to hold the crib boards. I've seen them on e-bay but they seem pretty poorly built.
I'll probably make one myself.
hewebb........ do you have any design drawings for yours ?
