Sue shows one of the two pantry options. The pantry is located just down the stairs on the port side. This option, which is the one we have elected for, consists of pull out drawers on soft close, undermount slides. Note the bottom opening will likely change to just an opening, allow for larger items to fit in there better. We will give a tour when our boat is compete so you can see how it turned out. The other option is one large door and deep shelves internally. For us, we believe having the pull out drawers will allow us an easier time organizing and finding things.
On most boats it is important to have the head of the mainsail as close to the top of the mast as possible. Furthermore it must also be quick to attach and disconnect the main halyard, even with cold and wet fingers. So a shackle or a bowline are not the best solutions. The best is the method is the one shown in this video. The bobble is nice, but not strictly necessary. A double figure of 8 knot (figure of 16?) will do. The bobble or knot is never removed so you cannot lose the halyard through the mast. I usually shorten the main halyard a few cm/in at the start of each season to move the wear spots.
