Making good progress, but will continue to simplify the latest idea
This new idea I am satisfied with.
The 8 mm polyester rope partly saturated with NM-epoxy makes a very strong rod. The non saturated part is a rope flexible that can bends to go below the deck. The rope in the carbon reinfrced PVC tube behaves like hydrolics and pushed the rod against resistance if needed.
With two rod one can act like a hinge but that is more complicated and it is not often thes lockers will be opened.
By cutting the lids out with the saw set at 45° I have a stop so only one rod in the middle is needed. That experiment is under way and cures during the night.

Sven Yrvind
Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
