Heh heh... :-) After I finish more directly sailing-related upgrades & improvements, I will be remodeling the "galley" in my M17. Still thinking about what exactly...a minor remodel would be to cut off the sink rise section and make one flat "counter-top" space and better access to the storage under. Most likely I will do something more radical with mine, removing most of that "kitchen" liner part and replacing with a comfy sitting spot, and aft of that a more accessible/modular storage system. It will include some kind of movable/stowable cooking setup for when it's nasty weather out. The M17 that was in R2AK had a fairly nice "movable galley" setup as I recall. I saw some pics somewhere but can't find 'em easily now. The M17 port cabin side was changed from galley to settee same as starboard side after some years of production, not sure when that happened exactly. cheers, John On 07/12/2018 09:20 AM, swwheatley@comcast.net wrote:
That Little Tikes play sink was put there to promote spousal approval at boat shows. On the water, it is useless except as a storage bin. Glassing over the drain hole is an upgrade.

Just curious, does anybody actually cook in their galley or do they generally do most of it in the cockpit? As well, my sink drain and through hull fitting for the drain has been removed and the hole glassed over. Might it be worthwhile to reinstate?
