Lowrance HDS 5 on RAM Mount I deliberately installed it so that 2 wash boards could be kept in. The RAM mount is brilliant - it allows quick re-positioning on various points of sail, and I think it's much better than any bulkhead or console mount.

 Detail - I like to have all my navigation data in the same general location. Interestingly, the compass and GPS agree exactly on the magnetic heading, but the fluxgate compass on the autopilot is wildly off, so I igonore it's heading data and steer by the GPS and ships compas.

 Can't do this with a console mounted chartplotter. Nice and dry inside. So far, no interference from the electronics on the magnetic compass.

 "Watts up" 50 amp watt logging meter. This is th eheart of my data collection system. It logs  total amps consumed (or generated) in real time, as well as voltage and watt stats. $50.

The model airplane hobby guys have this power management thing down to a science. Litterally.

 Stern Anchor. I also have a plow and an honest to gosh, original Bruce on board.

 Haws pipe. I probably don't really need that swivel.

 Rode flaked in locker - Needs a bulkhead and some cable re-routing.

 Xantrex 1000 watt MSW inverter in hanging locker. Still need to clean up wires but I used all marine grade cables fully tinned and jacketed...

 Accessory subpanel wired to watt meter. I got tired of wiring new toys directly into the battery without fuse protection. It's aso important to label all the wires. A Brother P-Touch labeler is brilliant for this.

 All battery connections labeled as are all panel connecetions with Brother "P-touch" labeler. The whole array is protected by an 80 amp fuse under the positive terminal.

 Port Preventer line, cleat and shackle. Keeps the boom under control downwind.

 Gotta hate that white 3m adheisive. t gets all over everything.

 Preventer line fairleads on toe rail. I got sick of tripping on the lines. I'm doing to relocate locate the jacklines along the cabin top near the centerline.

 Preventer block shackled to base of forward stancheon and held off deck with bungee.

 Port side -deck - clear! Yellow webbing is my jackline. Again, I'm going to relocate it inboard.

 Foredeck arrangement. It's easier to keep my sails on deck most of the time. Bags are clipped to lifelines in settled conditions. As things pick-up, I stow the larger sails below. One of the biggest challenges with changing hank-on sails is finding the foot and luff, and then managing the sail while on a heaving fordeck. The following is a solution I adapted from Brion Toss's "Riggers Apprentice":

Bugee keeps hanks and luff ordered inside of bag for quick sail changes. I now have this set-up for each sail:

Bungee across pulpit rail

 This payment has greatly sped up the sail change process. from 5 minutes to under three. Still looking for more efficiency...
