Boats are very cleverly designed and storage is created where ever possible. You lift up a trap door on the floor and you find an empty space. There is storage under every bed and seat, and little cupboards wherever they can be fitted.
It's okay if you are just using your boat occasionally, but a whole different matter if your boat is your home and you implement boat deck painting tips in Wilmette.
The Engine Room- Start by throwing away old containers of paint, varnish, etc, that are no longer useable. Put racking on the walls to hold tools. Label boxes and containers to make it easier to find things.
Under the Beds or Bunks, store duvets and blankets. A good tip is to use the vacuum bags. They collapse to paper thin and so take up very little room. They can also be used to store out-of season clothes. In fact, anything that is soft can be flattened.
Organize Kitchen Cupboards into different usage. Have a good clearing out of old food, crockery and utensils. Keep what you think is important, but throw away what you no longer need. It takes up unnecessary space.
Boats are wonderful to be on and so cleverly designed to create storage. It's up to you to utilize it to the full and do lots of clutter clearing. Happy Sailing!
