  1. Looking aft with camperback window rolled up to expose screening. We are told that the screening blocks visibility from the rear, although we see fine from inside. Fan clamps to transom bars and makes a big difference in hot weather. Nylon mesh bags sit down inside bars to hold drinks, water jugs, and propane cylinders kept in a porous nylon bag. Any leakage should go out of the splash well outlet. We normally lash a large cooler on the bars when underway to free up floor space. Rear panel goes behind lazerettes to free up significant space.
