Cockpit Boards

[DBurkett]

I’m looking for information on the installation of cockpit boards. I have a deep footwell that I would like to block off.
Any information would be appreciated.

Regards,

Do you mean something akin to cockpit mods carried out by Roger Taylor to his yacht Ming Ming?

The system used by Bill Churchouse, aboard his Westerly. The boards are removable.

There are no pictures available; I saw the system displayed in the “ Meet the Skippers” video on Bill Churchouse.

Yes. I had another look.... following Bill's ethos 'KISS', I can't see the difficulty in copying that idea. It's cheap, it's effective, it's easy to make. And it offers a volume of storage precious on a small boat.
