Magnetic holder for crockery
With Silwy products, nothing rattles around in the galley anymore. Metal mats are stuck to the cupboards, to which the manufacturer’s glasses, mugs and other items attach securely with magnets. Boat builders such as Bavaria fit these mats as standard, which is designed to prevent dirt build-up and save space. From 60 euros. Further information: silwy.de
More flexible barbecuing
Less mess, reaches the right temperature faster: gas barbecues are becoming increasingly popular amongst sailors too. One minor drawback: with the 450-gram cartridges, you end up with a second system on board alongside the conventional, permanently fitted gas system for use in the galley. With an adapter hose including a pressure regulator, the barbecues can also be connected to the large Campingaz on-board cylinder, which is refillable and thus reduces waste. What’s more, the crew don’t have to keep track of the gas levels in two separate systems, you save storage space and, depending on where you buy them, money too. The ‘HP to LP adapter kit’ with an 85-centimetre hose is available, for example, from barbecue manufacturer Cadac for 34.95 euros. Further information: cadacinternational.com
