Haylard Lines Led to Cockpit: I did this a few years ago and am very pleased with results. I just recently changed the winch on the cabin roof to an elevated position to accommodate a GPS on the same cabin side. It's a Garman 176C and works great even in the sunlight, recognizing it's under the dodger, always in the shade. The lines coming to the cockpit on the right side are the main, jib, haylard and boom height control, acting as a Cunningham. (My boom is not fixed but on the same track as the sail slugs, giving me the ability to raise it or lower it any height I chose. On the left side, spinnaker pole control lines are topping lift control lines. There are no reefing lines leading to the cockpit and I have a 3 reef point main, fully battened.

This picture shows a hide-a-away shower head with hot and cold water. It's a nice addition for showers after a swim off the back of the boat or to rinse off sun tan lotion. The hose length has been extended so you can sit on the back seat and rinse off. On a cold day I have the option of putting up the cockpit enclosure to keep out the cold air while showering. There is a 110 volt - hot water tank, pressure water and hot water is produced additionally from the motor heat exchanger.
