I think sometimes I should be called the Velcro Kid - Things that I need to keep handy (registration, flares, whistle, GPS, knife) I attach to the inside wall of the cabin on either side of the hatchway. A strip of rough Velcro on the wall and a piece of the soft on the equipment. Some of the strips need to be replaced each year if wear and tear begins to loosen them but others have been sound for years. I sail with the GPS velcro'd to the outside wall and plugged in to the house battery via a cable (velcro'd of course) around the doorway to the power panel. Radio and fire extinguisher are fastened in place pressing existing fasteners into dual service. The adhesive will not adhere to some spots within the cabin unless thoroughly scrubbed with acetone and/or sanded. Stan M-15, # 177, Carol II Frustrated by the weather - thunder storms all last week, this week and predicted for all next week -- and we are loaded up ready to go for a couple of days - but two in a 15 in the rain even if the winds are fine (which at 5 mph they aren't) isn't what we have in mind.
