Hanging Storage Pockets

One of the features lost during the 1985 redesign of the C22 were the cabin shelves that ran down the sides of the boat.  Having a place for all those odds and ends one seems to need aboard a boat has caused shelf envy in more than one "New Style" C22 owner.

Bob Gales and Gail O'Neil, of Fleet 20 in Portland, Oregon, increased the storage in their boat Imagine (#13501) with a sewing project.  Hung from the bulkheads or the internal teak trim, the storage pockets provide a convenient place for those items you want close at hand.

A unique feature of Bob and Gail's design, is the use of clear plastic to facilitate the visibility of the pocket's contents.  The project was accomplished using a standard home style sewing machine.
