[Rhodes22-list] Video: Storage Solutions

[Olivier Hecht]

Hi Peter. Congrats on the launch and I hope you're all healed up. Your videos have been great.

I noticed the gas strut on the lazarette lid and I'd like to add one to Fretless. Could you let me know the length and stroke of the strut and share any close up photos of the mounting and/or part number?  

The worst part of having Fretless ready to launch but 50 miles from me is little details like this I need to gather parts for all the little projects like this...

First, about a month ago I managed to lose my balance and fall off the boat, breaking my collar-bone when I hit the ground.  Second, we hope to use the boat for cruising - voyages of up to a week long.  This would require bringing along a lot of ‘stuff’, so some thought and effort went into figuring out where to put all of this ‘stuff’. And, of course, having a broken collar-bone slowed this project down a bit.
