The wife wants a place to hang wet towels or clothes during the winter sailing months inside the cabin. So here is is what I came up with. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought a Hotel rool clothes line. It retracts inside a flat chrome disc with a seperate clip for the opposite end. When not in use it stows itself. $10 dollars worth of great hanging space.

That's a good idea!

On North Star, the stern rail doubles as the clothes line and if the weather doesn't cooperate, then a line is strung under the bimini to keep the wet clothes out of inclement weather(rain) and if the clothes are really wet they drip into the cockpit.

It works good for the winter. If I left anything outside there is a good chance it would be frozen solid. We dont use the port sleeping area at night. Its on the same side as the diesel heater and out of the way. I hope to be out sailing this weekend. Evening low's high 20s to 30s daytime high high 30s to 40s <img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b2cc10b3127cce93693ae4ec5f0000001410" border=0>It will work in any cabin.

Douglas,

Sounds like you've discovered a great solution to a common problem that we all share. But I'm afraid that my solution is similar to Don's "let them hang on the life lines" and if its snotty out I'll go home, take the wet stuff with me and put them in the dryer there.
