When living in Sarasota back in the early 80’s, Wellcraft used to do “Yard Sales” annually to sell off lots of scrap teak wood and discontinued model cabinetry items. I bought a couple small shelves for less than $5 but never really found a perfect spot for them till finally now - almost 30 years later! (Yes, I’m a serious pack rat when it comes to holding onto Teak wood.)
Fast forward to the now age of I-Phones being a major part of our lives - I FINALLY found the PERFECT use and spot for these small 3” x 12” Teak shelves. I placed them on the Port & Starboard sides in the V-Berth attached to the bulkheads respectively and Gorilla Glued the length of them to the sides.
While not intended for heavy loads, they are screwed solidly into the bulkheads and the Gorilla Glue along the length has plenty of strength for holding light personal items in a conveniently accessible place.
I’m also ready to install a 12v USB charger outlet just above in the regular overhead storage bins and can tap into the cabin lighting circuit very easily. This will make it easy to charge one's phone from the 12V system while offshore. ...More photos to follow as this progresses and will show new foam backed vinyl in overhead compartments plus reinstalled compartment wood panels
