Optional equipment list

Buying a new boat is always a compromise between your wallet and your technical skills. That means that whenever we chose something from the optional equipment I started to think - what if I will add this afterwards by myself?
Something is easy like adding new fenders, but something is not. Like adding rigid fresh water tank and relocate it to a different locker (in our case from the cockpit locker under the V-berth).
Even I have some technical skills, that does not mean I have a time or space in garage for such upgrades, so I opted for only the easy upgrades and rather go more sailing.

Standard boat is equipped very differently depending on the market and the dealer.
This is the list of the optional equipment we've chosen to be added directly in the boatyard to make it more comfortable in terms of sailing and living aboard:

• round opening window in the head room
• rectangle opening window in the cockpit (more lights and air in the aft berths)
• anchor roller integrated in the bowsprit
• "dead man" - so called system for lowering the mast. V-shaped tubing attached to the forestay which helps you to rise or lower the mast single-handed (really a must!).
• retractable ladder on the stern
• reinforced bracket for 10HP outboard motor
• quadruple Lewmar Easylock Mini rope clutches and organizers
• main sail lazy jack
• genoa and genoa tracks instead of the foresail and foresail cabin tracks
• roller furler Trimet
• centerboard bearings in the line pulley (this should help a lot in lowering or rising just by hand)
• double safe lines in the railing (mainly due to small kids)
• Deep shelf accessible from the headroom under the port cockpit seating
• additional berths in the main cabin (just a plywood board and a mattress between the saloon seating and centerboard trunk)
• closed cabinets in the main cabin
• rigid fresh water tank 54 l under the V-berth

I'm planning to install this equipment myself sooner or later:

• depth sounder
• full navigation lights (even COLREG does not require the navigation lights for boats up to 7 m)
• ethanol or propane cook top (not decided yet as propane cook top requires dedicated bottle locker)
• portable compressor fridge
• bimini top 
• solar panels

With everything new I want to add more and more gadgets. This is not my first sailboat, so in this case, I have to keep calm and install only necessary things to avoid later maintenance. We want to sail, Aye!
