Hi Mark,

I changed up my cockpit storage setup during the off season.  I purchased
containers at The Container Store based on suggestions from others on the
list.  Like others have mentioned, they make a weatherproof container that
works great to store the pop top enclosure.  I also found some other
containers there such as two-tiered versions that work well.  I also
emulated others on the list by installing bars to keep the containers in
place while heeling.  As part of the storage overhaul, I also changed my
lazarette organization but that's another topic.  Anyway, I'm happy with
the new setup.

I attached a PDF with more details as well as photos and you can also get
to the document at the link below:

Hope that helps...
