What to do with your china and drinking glasses

26/3/2012

On Cool Change we do not believe that eating and drinking pleasures are enhanced by using plastic plates and/or plastic wine glasses. However, since we do not belong to the “boat-in-the-marina-only” (BITMO) crowd and don’t shy away from facing serious seas and winds off shore, one might ask how we do avoid major breakage of our china and glassware?
Like most other boats we have dedicated storage spaces for plates and glassware.
To protect them from breakage on passage, we use stubby coolers for wine glasses and special covers for champagne glasses. Plates are protected via in-between layers of rubber mats, cut to the diameter of each plate. Those non-slip materials are easily cut with standard scissors and are easily available from your local hardware store by the meter or from your chandlery. The plates themselves are stored in a cabinet with adjustable spacers to suit each stack of plates.
For the silver cutlery we’ve used special dividers glued into place in a drawer which keeps the pressures fork and knifes in good shape and in place at any state of sea or turbulence.
