Default "Day Cruiser Storage Solution"

Is it safe to have a toddler under there while under way? (Reckless
driving, not withstanding)

If so, I would like to do something to manage the storage area under
there, so that she is not lying on oars and water-skis. I was thinking
of something as basic as straps looped from top to bottom of the
support structures (those vertical, flat pieces of fiberglass
perpendicular to the wall that curve inward between the floor and the
underside of the bow (ceiling?)) into which I could feed the long
unwieldy gear. Is this a good idea? Maybe someone here could suggest
something.


I'd rather see something rigid, like wooden racks, along with a redundant
feature (perhaps straps), so that unless something absolutely catastrophic
happens, there's absolutely no way anything will come loose and hurt a kid.
Some injuries can't be fixed. And, of course, she should always have a vest
on.
