inside overhead handholds

[ebb]

338 is having new companionway hatch slide rails installed. Thru bolts will be used.
Very often thru fastenings from the outside can be used to bolt on hand holds in the cabin. (Plan to use long bolts that will cinch up under the cabin top thru the liner. Then a spacer corresponding to the dead space between the liner and the top. The protruding threaded ends can then be used to bolt on interior pieces.)

Hand holds would be about 25/26" apart down the center under the new companionway slide rails. Seems to me they might be head bangers, something I want to avoid for awhile.

Traditional varnished hand rails on the cabin top are set in about 6" from the edge. A matching set can be placed inside right underneath - sharing the fastenings.

Question is this:
Where is the ideal overhead handhold located inside the cabin? Outboard steadies are maybe too far out for comfortable use as you may have to lean at an angle.

More center located the holds could be used together. You could get from the companionway to the V-berth by 'walking' your way forward in good control. Outboard mounted rails you'd probably have to face the rail to steady youself with both hands, and crab your way.

What do you skippers consider ideal, down the middlw or down the sides. Or is the cabin small enough not to need any? Have a feeling that the further out handholds sre the only compromise because the smooth overhead is more important. Feed back anybody?
