"I also made a shelf out of the same and attached it to the underside of the
deck and to the bulkhead.  This makes the bulkhead really solid (suitable
for a foot pump) and gives me some storage in a generally unused space.  The
shelf was three pieces in a \_/ shape, giving me a trapezoidal tube of about
ten litres volume.  I put drain holes in the shelf where it connected to the
bulkhead."
Sounds like a good idea. But, what happens to your gear stored there when
you invert in surf and the contents of the cockpit, unless restrained, are
free floating?  Do you have a front closure for the shelves that restrains
gear but doesn't restrict access?
