A car trunk organizer brings order to misfit stowages
Issue 110 : Sept/Oct 2016
Aboard Stingray, I use a padded car trunk organizer to keep gear organized, secure, and accessible in deep lockers or in oddly shaped spaces belowdecks. Organizers come in many shapes, sizes, and materials, but the one I use is made from heavy-duty 1680D polyester fabric that doesn’t absorb water readily. Because it’s flexible, it can fit in a wide range of spaces. When not in use, it collapses into a smaller configuration we can easily stow. Car trunk organizers are also useful for transporting provisions from town, to dink, to boat.
Chris Faranetta has been racing dinghies and cruising larger boats since the early 1970s. In the early ’80s he tormented his parents by twice sail-touring the U.S. Atlantic Coast, first on an AMF Sunfish and then on a Mistral Maui sailboard. Today he’s exploring Chesapeake Bay with his own family, one weekend at a time, from Tilghman Island, Maryland, aboard Stingray, their weathered 1970 Westerly Cirrus 22.
