Someone asked me about the hanging organizer I have aboard Faith.

I checked the tag, and it is a 'Case Logic' organizer. I saw it at K-mart, and thought it would work. It is well made, with heavy nylon, and strong mesh. There are inserts in the corners, and small strips sewn into the front of the mesh pockets to keep them from deforming with the weight of things placed in them.
I understand that K-Mart no longer carries them, but you can order direct from the Case Logic website. (http://www.caselogic.com/search/index.cfm?Ne=100&N=4011+20025995)
They have several different sizes, and they are very reasonably priced. The one I have is the '9 pocket' model

I suppose at the price on their website it is definitely replaceable. But can you tell what kind of metal the grommets are? How long do you think they'll last?

Thanks Craig

I don't know. They look like bead blasted stainless, but it is probably some kind of coating over steel. Mine has been aboard for several months, in a saltwater environment and has not shown any sign of corrosion.
Thanks!
Hopefully by the end of the month, I'll have a boat under me.
This is on my list!
