I was thinking of a slide away galley unit once upon a time..... www.todspages.net/images/LF-galleyunit.jpg
The sink could just be a lift-out pan and the pump could be omitted....

I use an Orego one-burner stove on my M15 and will transfer it to the M17, along with other galley gear. I may add a small sink and water source for it, but haven't decided. Let's keep talking about this. --Gary Hyde N24 'Sailabration' M17 #637 'Hydeaway2' M15 #235 'Vanilla' On Aug 17, 2005, at 9:24 AM, Rachel wrote: > > On Aug 17, 2005, at 11:12 AM, Tom Smith wrote: > >> >> #496 has an abbreviated port quarter berth ....
