[Rhodes22-list] companionway board storage

Thanks to all for their quick responses.

If I understand correctly the board fits up onto the area behind the seat. Apparently some boats have a ridge in the floor that keeps it in place. My boat doesn't have a ridge but I have, nonetheless, stored my boards there. They stay in place even without the ridge and are certainly out of the way, but putting them in place and retrieving them is not entirely convenient- especially when you have storage bins under the seat that need to be moved. 

I might well go back to that option but thought that while I am rebuilding the interior anyway, it would be a good time to incorporate changes if there were ideas out there that I hadn't thought of.

I store mine the way Chris does...under the starboard bench in the cockpit. Stan showed me when we rented a Rhodes how it's designed to stick into the groove in the cockpit floor there and I've (surprisingly) never had it budge even while heeling over 25 degrees with the port gunwale awash...
