Does anyone use the sail locker on the port side of the cockpit to actually store their sails? (I usually just roll them and store them on the forward V-berth.) Also, what's the intended purpopose of the small shelf in the locker with the vertical, notched wooden panel attached to it?

Thanks as always!

The wife and I use the sail locker in the cockpit to hold our sails. We don't like having a cluttered boat, and the wife often takes a nap in the v-birth as I'm solo sailing around the reservoir.

We use the shelf to hold lines, a diving mask, the manual bilge pump, a bucket, and other items.

My cockpit locker is used to store items that I'm not to concerned if they get a little dirty such as my spare anchor/rode, fenders, docklines, boat hook, fishing net,...etc. On the occasional trip, I'll throw in the garden hose and shore power cord.

Sailbags stand up nicely in the locker, the notched board is for coils of line.

I just sold my last sail out of the locker, so it is empty at the moment. We added a harken furler last summer and I'm never going back..at least for now. I plan on updating the electrical panel and the access is through the locker. After I am done, I will put more thought into it. Usually, we put the fenders in it after we leave the dock. I am thinking that it might be good storage for our PFD's. We use them, so the locker would have enough room for the fenders after we remove them.

You know the claim: "Sleeps 5"? That's one of them...

There's more than one version of the port side cockpit 'sail locker'. The earlier C-25s have a cavernous one, sometimes referred to as 'the dumpster.' Later year boats, with the separate fuel locker, have a smaller port cockpit locker. I subdivided my 'dumpster' into several smaller compartments for improved access and use of space.

I pile my headsails in the V-berth. On long trips, I keep a folded spare mainsail, along with my largest and smallest headsails, under the V-berth.

I keep one of those collapsible laundry hampers (they breath) with lines that don't get much use way in the front, then have a wastebasket with an anchor and line and then have another wastebasket with fenders. Keeps everything more or less handy without having to dive too much.
