has anyone come up with some clever ways of storing clothes? I
dont really want to install a wardrobe in my already limited cabin
space, but ill need a bit of space somewhere for a few changes of
clothes for my partner and myself.

Uses your vacuum cleaner at home to suck the air out and flattens
everything tripling your capacity....$10 each....Home Depot.

Mildew doesn't live in a vacuum....Won't even get wet if you flood
the boat! Probably won't float, though, either....(c;

Doesn't take the strength of a home vac. We have a 12vdc auto vac that
does pretty well. If you have the space, the 1 gallon "shop vac"
(wet/dry) vacs are handy. That's what we use for long-term storage, as
clothes *do* get musty-smelling otherwise.

Stuff we use regularly goes in our "V" cubbies, which are dry. We used
the little gear hammocks on the smaller boat, but watch for abrasion.
