I am looking forward to homemade biscuits & scones hot out of the oven. I have used a portable single butane burner on board for several years. It has supported my sailing adventures. Eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, soup, boiled beef, and curry dishes are all possible. I have recently rebuilt the Force10 stove and propane systems that were not working when I acquired the boat. After this refit, the oven will be operational. I'm wondering if bread will be possible. I'm not sure the temps will be hot enough.

Counter space is a plus on the boat, but the small single sink is not. @Scott T-Bird got me thinking about this issue with the Replacement sink thread..
That adventure may be a year away.

It is now time to go sailing, and this year is the year I venture to the north end of Vancouver Island. :biggrin:
IMGP0248.jpeg There is a lot to be said for having a good oven on board. I’d tell you all about it but my mouth is full.

Definitely a U-shape only big enough for one person. Gimbled propane stove/oven with pot clamps to one side; under-counter fridge/ice tray across; sink in the middle; food prep surface above the fridge and in the corners of the U, with low railing; full cabinets above. Very good lighting. Pressurized hot and cold water. If possible opening skylight above.

Please, you miss spelled it. The proper title is The Galley Winch. Not only can she cook but she is also an excellent sailor and made the spinnaker which is my avatar. :beer:
???? At a hunting/fishing/boating club of which I was once a member, there was a note on the bulletin board, "1,000-lb wench for sale."

My wife called the things you crank the jib sheets on “wenches” for at least a decade.
I finally made a (Illustrated) poster that I hung up in the cabin that said:

Wrench
Winch
Wench

Use the right tool for the job at hand!
