Good storage bags

Don't have much storage in my tiny cabin.  These Blue Performance bags are great!

I like those!  Where did you find them?

I like them also; how did you connect the hooks to the hull?

Yeah, I know I also need to organize and understand which of my stuff is where. It's an archeology dig now.

I got the bags from Defender.  I got the small cockpit bags, but if you have more room they have some nice larger bags.
To attach the bag to the smooth white bulkhead liner I used these  3MCommand strips:

They are holding very well, and will come off easily if I ever need to remove the bag.
I used the same product to attach the bags to the fabric liner, but instead of using the adhesive strip, I attached some adhesive backed Velcro on the back of the clip.

The Blue Performance site has a lot of cool stuff on it.

I went to Defender also, and saw they have some other clever bags I might could use. For example, the halyard bag attached to the mast. I currently just coil the halyard and stuff the coil between taut line and mast.

Great ideas, and thanks for sharing the attachment product also. They will probably work, although I noticed they say NO to the question of good in humid environments.

I bought two at the All Sailboat Show at Navy Pier in Chicago and fastened them into the notch in front of the mast on my CP-19.
But, that is the location of the cooler which takes up all the room so now these two bags are sitting in the garage and no longer used.

Might look for another area. Maybe on the carpeted bulkhead on a baton under the rug.
