This was the starboard side bench in 2001.
This looks different now, but I won't update the pics just yet.

Note the steel rods. The standing rigging (rod) is attached to
1" thick fiberglass laminate, which is glassed longitudinally into the hull. The good news is you get the structural strength of having your standing rigging built into the hull. The bad news is you lose storage space behind the benches.

I've replaced that funky home stereo with a good system, and added sliding mahogany rails to make the area secure.

Here's the view of the port side.

The entire main cabin is now
lined with LED Lights,
which can illuminate the interior at night
for only .312 amps. That's cool.
