Frank has been busy remodeling REVIVAL. Here is his "varnishing rack" for the trim. That piece with the holes will show up later on the maincabin side of the strongback.

Here is the new "self draining" anchor locker in progress . . .
Here is the completed look. Note the new hatch cover. It was shown earlier on the varnishing rack . . . Frank says to note the storage below . . .
Bill .. I stole the anchor locker idea from the triton site. Frank #50
That is a cool mod Frank.
How much chain do you plan to carry? how much higher would you estimate that shelf would make the chain?
I like the mod, and would think it would be a good way to 'segregate' the chain locker. I plan to carry more chain then I really want to use on a regular basis. Maybe the regular rode (mine is 150') with 30' or so could ride on the shelf while the remainder is laying at the ready below, with the spare anchor and other stuff that could get stand to get wet every once and a while.
I carry 50ft chain and 150 rode there. I have a further 100ft chain in a bucket in the bilge (ballest) if needed. The lower erea should not get wet. The 'shelf' drains forward and overboard and is 'glassed' in . I'll let you know if it works out in practice like in theory.
Frank has plans for the ice box area. "Can't belive how easy these came out . . . NOT!"
