The main large storage space in the cockpit is under the sofa seats. The forward part of the seats has the clothes closet in the aft cabins underneath, so there can be no storage there. This would mean that the actual storage box would be too short to store the long things you need in the cockpit, like a broom, a hook and so on.
I solved this by adding an extra “long things storage” pipe in the sofa. This pipe has a double use, it will become the clothes hanger on the inside. I promise I will have a cleaner broom when the boat is launched…
