Cup, Bowl and Plate Rack (1991)

The boat lacked any secure stowage for dishes. We obtained  a set of, four each, Heller, plastic cups, dinner plates, salad plates and soup bowls. We designed and constructed a teak rack to securely store these dishes and mounted it on the galley counter just aft of the of the ice box lid. The plates and bowls of this set interlock which helps to retain them in the rack. The left-hand picture shows the rack and general area. The right-hand is a closeup, showing the cutout for cup stowage.

{Lessons learned:

1. When buying items for a boat, consider the storage requirements.
2. Also, consider whether the design of the item is compatible with storage requirements.}
