Does anyone have a good template for a stowage chart? I'm doing cat 4's this season and as part of the safety checks I need a good stowage chart. Rather than fiddle about with powerpoint I wonder if someone has already done this.
Don't know exactly what you want. I do have excel files sent to me by a Great Lakes Solo Challenge sailor. Wasn't able to send them here. Perhaps my outdated computer skills. Let me know if you want them. I'll find a way.

I just copied the plan views from the owners manual. Then I marked them up by hand and laminated them with clear contact paper. Used the plumbing plan for thru-hull locations. I forget what I used for emergency equipment locations.
I started with a screenshot from the manual, then used PowerPoint to annotate it. Staples sells easy lamination packs.
This iPad browser is not letting me attach, but if you would like the files, send me a pm and I'll email them to you.

Dave : Funny that you ask because it was one of my 1st articles that I wrote for the Mainsheet tech notes in August 1990!!
It is a diagram of the hull with all of the compartments and cub-by holes numbered/lettered.
Hope this helps
That would be here, for C34IA members

Wasn't there a simpler one at somepoint? Ron's is very good, but I had one from this site without all the notations. I used it to add flares, first aid... without the letters. I need to replace the one aboard and can't find my original template. I don't think I would have taken the time to mock this one up? Joel
Joel : Take my chart and eliminate all of the storage that is "out in the open".
I'd recommend that you still use all of the letters/numbers that are storage compartment that are hidden from sight!!
A thought
thanks everybody - great forum - i knew someone woulda had it
