Deck organizers lead halyards and control lines aft, allowing me to sail from the security of the cockpit.

So I Install two Harken deck organizers.

Making Two Dorade boxes

One of the best ways to get air below when the hatches must be close is the dorade vent, basically, a dorade vent consist of a cowl vent set atop a box on deck, rather than feeding directly to the cabin. Inside the box is a pipe offset from the bottom of the cowl vent neck, so that air entering through the cowl travels a route before being funneled below or inside into the saloon, small drains holes at the low point in the side s of the box allow water to escape. Then having this in mind we made a couple of dorade boxes made out of fiberglass, on top of these water traps or dorade boxes I will put two Nicro cowl vents that I already had for this purpose.

The Galley

Working in the kitchen area to install a " Dometic brand alcohol stove" that I bought on my last trip, also it is good idea to build a stainless steel box or enclosure that serves to protect the kitchen furniture and the rest of the boat against possible burns or fires. This ginballed Dometic kitchen is balanced with the movement of the sailboat. I do not like gas cookers because it is difficult to detect gas leaks inside the cabin of a sailboat that is like a cave and can accumulate and then explode.

Kitchen cabinet doors

It was still pending to put the doors of the furniture in the kitchen area. The material chosen was polypropylene sheet with bronze handles.
