Note that I changed the naming convention from the original posting above. In most cases, storage compartments have a single alpha char (sometimes 2), followed by a number. The alpha prefixes are as follows...
- FP = Forecastle (Port)
- FS = Forecastle (Stbd)
- FC = Forecastle (Cntr)
- H = Head
- W = Wardrobe
- D = Dinette
- S = Settee
- G = Galley
- N = Nav Station
- B = Bilge or Basement
- C = Cockpit
Since most of the areas are on either the Port or Starboard side, a single alpha char was sufficient. In the Forecastle, however, the second designation of "P", "S" or "C" were used for clarification. I numbered the areas in the sequence of fore to aft, outboard to inboard, and top to bottom. There may be minor exceptions, resulting from the difficulty in making a 2-dimensional representation of what is a 3-dimensional reality.
While it's likely that my layout is somewhat different from your's (or anyone else's), I'd be happy to make a custom representation for your boat when we get together in Florida. In the mean time, if you have only looked at the images in this post, be sure you look at the demo. Although it isn't set up such that you can actually change the values, it should sufficiently illustrate the intent. When I have a bit more time, I might try to turn this into an executable application that does not require a user to install MySQL and PHP within a localhost web server. This would allow anybody to use it and customize for their boat. Typically, adding this kind of customization requires somewhere in the neighborhood of 10x the programming. In programming, the simpler something looks, the more time it likely took to develop.
