Gas springs

 

Another somewhat less impactful but also a successful project is the installation of gas springs in different places. On the flap of the card table so that it opens and closes more easily. That's also on the new Rassy's. On the lid of the coffin in the cockpit so the lid can stay open and there is no more danger of popping shut with a moving boat. We got that from the Indian Summer. And finally on the two pantries at the back of the boat. These are heavy lids that don't close properly after regular use because of movement on the hinges. Here the gas springs have been moved from the side to the middle.
