Are the little feet on the 2nd crosspiece cruelling you?

Not really Geoff, its the raised sections on the outside that are holding it up. I can't really see if those raised section are there on your photo.

I removed the feet and it made no difference due to the curve of the hull. Looks like I'm stuck with only two buckets with this rail arrangement.

Here it is without the feet:

I once considered using 90 mm pvc to put hold all shelves on the inside of the boat before I found my teak fiddle rail. In lieu of the buckets I thought that may work under the cockpit floor as well. Did a quick search on net and here’s a tutorial on YouTube.

You could make them any length, partition them and pair them with hollow pvc to take boat hooks, boom , whisker pole or the like.

Just a thought.
