STORAGE BINS.
Hi all, I have built 6 storage bins for my Investigator. What I did was to buy six, 18 litre buckets, a length of 1/2" threaded rod, 48 ×1/2" washers and 48 x 1/2" nuts and put them together after removing the hanbles as seen below in two rows of three. The end one of each row had to be trimmed as shown, but they slide in under the cockpit floor completely, one each side of the tube for the centreboard lift rope and can be slide out one side at a time as far as needed. It gives a tremendous amount of storage. Cheers.
