ABSTRACT:
A lockable storage cover is a single-unit which may be used to contain and safely lock down gear commonly used with smaller boats, and to form, in conjunction with a space on the boat, a storage locker. The lockable storage cover is designed for use with any small boat having an opening, especially a cockpit opening, in any situation where an operator has a need to secure and lock his/her sailing gear, either for reasons of convenience, theft deterrent, or shipping. Smaller gear such as a rudder and tiller and tiller extension are secured to the underside of cover, the cover is placed over a center cockpit of a boat and may be locked, enclosing the smaller gear within the cockpit and transforming the cockpit into a storage locker. Spars may be placed in the set of spar supports atop the lockable storage cover and secured by one or more moveable arms which may be locked in place and which doubles as a kickstand on which to prop the lockable storage cover for convenience. The storage cover is preferably made of molded plastic for economy of production, durability, low weight, and water resistance.
