Ever come off a wave and slide the seat right off the head... Not my idea, but a good one.

A big winner towards getting those AHs down. This is a wonderful company to work with and they produce an awesome product. These are the dual flourescent/LED (for red) versions. More light and less Amps! I did not change the head light as we don't use them enough to justify the cost.

Custom built to fit the hull and provide enough clearance to be able to acccess the wire run w/o removing the speaker. The driver is some exotic full range French job that I can't remeber at the moment. We also have PolyPlanars mounted on the arch for music in the cockpit. I chose box speakers external because I worried about water ingress through a failed flush mount.

The standard issue spring thingy let the chart table fall on my head one too many times. Easy mod that works great.

Just on the inboard side to help keep things in place but not where it somes under the wrist when seated at the chart table. Also added a fiddle to keep things on the counter from sliding into the sink.

A common modification: changing hanging lockers into pantries for a bit more storage. The J/40 does not have a lot of storage volume, particularly with water tanks under both settees. These shelves, and the ones in the forward hanging locker, give us enough to support four people for a couple of weeks. If we had a bit more faith in the water maker, we would consider removing one of the water tanks for more storage.

The J/40 could use a few more handholds below, as was done for the J/42. This column is an easy add to steady that lunge from the companion way.

In the quest for energy, here's how we see the standard anchor light: 1A for 12 hours is 12AH which is worth 6 gallons of water per day. Clearly unacceptable! I modified the anchor light using LED lights from http://www.bebi-electronics.com/. Before you write these guys off, they produce a better product at a lower cost than the mongo corporations like Perko, Hella, etc. In doing the modification I soldered all the connections, given that these guys never burn out and need replacing, to avoid another reason to go up the mast. As an aside, and on going up, I love the ATN mast climber. Since I usually work alone and, when I'm not, seem to always fall victim to an override whilst aloft, its a great product: just be prepared for a workout. I did leave the strobe in place, though it is illegal to use.
