Project completion on a boat is all about prioritizing, right? Well, we enjoy our vino. As such, one fun project Scott did in-betwixt bigger projects while we were still in Ft. Lauderdale was to make a wine rack for our galley. We have a wine "locker" to stow bottles in bulk, but I thought it might be nice to have a place to store open bottles where they'd be easily accessed and safe while underway. I told Scott my idea and showed him where I thought it could be installed, and he immediately got to work designing the rack with some scrap wood, a couple of dowel rods and two brackets. The next day, we had a custom-made wine rack that holds five bottles ready for action. Man do I love being married to a handy man!
Scott's hole saws came in handy yet again!
Taking the measurements so it fits just-so.

Dry fit and more measurements
The finished product!
A couple of brackets, some press-fit dowel rods,
and some scrap wood and VOILA! Wine rack!

Wine rack
What are the essential boating fluids? Well certainly wine is one of them. Over on s/v Windtraveler Scott and Brittany put some under-utilized space to a more noble use:
