Some have asked me what life is like on board below decks. For ten months now the full extent of my personal space as been one bunk.

Any headsail or spinnaker not in use is stored below decks in the sleeping quarters. With a complement of three headsails, three spinnakers, and three other sails to chose from, we rarely ever see the sole boards (floor).


After a year of living this way, it has become quite acceptable. Living out of a space any larger space would seem luxurious.
