A perfect cutting board set for your boat galley,containing three different sized boards, to find just the right fit for your boat galley sink!

I know you are thinking... that a mounted cutting board on your gimbaled stove is the best and perfect option for a cutting surface and to add more functional space for to your boat galley and I agree! However, what if you don't have a mounted cutting board for your stove? And even if you do, why not add some additional usable space in your galley?

The gimbaled stove on my last boat had a butcher block top that added extra counter space and a built in cutting board. Our new boat didn't come with this feature and I've yet to figure out how to find the right sized cutting board top for it or to get my husband to make me one... Maybe now that our boat is out of the water? One can always hope, right?

I had purchased this cutting board to use onboard and to add some color because I do love transforming sailboat/boat interiors! I figured out that it fits perfectly on my double sink and as a bonus it doesn't slip, providing the perfect spot to cut up food in the galley! Any extra scraps or peels can be scraped into the sink and cleaned up afterwards. It also is great to convert the sink area into additional counter space to place things when you are just running out of room! This image is of the medium cutting board size. I also like the smaller size to use as a colorful cheese board!

Available online in several locations. Look for Bamboo Non Slip Cutting Board Set by Lipper International.

The problem with a butchers block on the stove is that I am usually using the stove when I need the butchers block.

I have a stove top cutting board stove in the c27 but after finishing it and oiling it I can't bring myself to carve it up. I use one from Costco that looks like it is made 3/8" starboard on top of the cutting board. On the Mac 25 the handles used to press fit on to the sheet cleat and I could lock it down by shifting it under the cleat horn. It was perfect for cleaning fish and cutting bait. I fits nicely in the dish rack just beneath the stove.

Many years ago I found a serving tray in a yard sale and put that on the boat as a movable work surface. A small plastic cutting board and a couple of bowls fit on it nicely and it confines the mess.

For my B323, I found a (Starboard?) white cutting board a bit more than enough to fit the top of my Force 10. On the rear rail of the stove I put two bolts upright, drilled 2 holes in the board, and it is an instant additional counter top. A snap to remove, and lightweight/flat to store. It has a groove around it to hold any runaway liquid.

I've got an Origo, 2 burner stove and several years ago I made a cutting board that fit the stove. The board is bigger than the sink, so I adjusted the runners underneath which allowed it to fit inside the rails on the stove and inside the sides of the sink. When cooking, it's additional counter space.
The idea could be duplicated from King Starboard for very little $.
