I had been looking for #8, 2-inch bronze wood screws for almost two years. The following chart illustrates the # system for screw sizes.

I finally gave up trying to find #8, 2-inch, and went with #10, 2-inch. These screws are for the mainsail track on the mainmast and boom.

All sail-track installation is now complete.

Next I considered the location and installation of a garbage can. The logical choice for the location is under the galley sink, and below you can see the door to that space. Note that this door is hinged on the bottom.

I bought rubber trash can and then built a housing for it to the back of the door.

The can is a perfect fit, and the housing has adequate strength.

Very convenient:

Meanwhile, the battery boxes have received their final coats of paint, and related work has continued. The photo below shows the starboard/forward under-settee locker. The board you see inside is mounted on teak blocks and various electrical components will be mounted on it. Note the holes in the settee front The two large holes are for battery switches, the two smaller holes are for ventilation. There are now two ventilation holes for each of the six lockers.

Here are the battery switches installed. The location is near the floor and the teak frame adds a decorative aspect as well as some protection from swinging feet.

Moving aft, there are the two house batteries.

Moving to the port side, there is the inverter installed on a dedicated platform. Aft of the inverter is the starting battery in its box.

These battery boxes are very strong and the installation is very secure.

Final installation of electrical panel and frame (note battery switches near the cabin sole):
