[C38] Salon Shelving Options

[tdtron at earthlink.net]

We always secured anything on the salon shelves in boxes or in other low locations in rough seas.  The only thing that stayed on my shelves in rough seas was my SSB radio which I had mounted on the upper shelf just forward of the nav station and it was fastened by temporary mounts which were hard to see when the SSB and mount were removed.

One reason it was easy for us to empty the shelves was we never kept much on them in the first place.

One problem you may find with the shelves is that as they came from Catalina the upper shelves were fairly poorly supported and will not hold much weight.  If you intend to make cargo use of them, you may want to also try to figure out an attractive way to reinforce and support them.

A drop in fabricated shelf liner that would provide a lip higher than the existing shelf lip may provide strength as well as a way to keep things secure while healing and bouncing on those fun rides which sometimes provoke serious but indiscernible talks to Neptune as you lean over the leward side, an action that is sometimes called "chumming."

  Reminds me of a book I once read titled " Gentalmen never sail to weather"
