Re: Stus-List cockpit cup holders (solar panel mounting)

[Kevin Benoit via CnC-List]

Sure. I actually just modified a radar arch from a power boat that I found
at a local chandlery.  Had to cut it shorter and modify the mounting plates
to match the deck curvature then used starboard as a base and thru bolted
it.  The backing plates are also stainless.  Unfortunately, I don't have
many specific pictures of the install but here is what I do have: Arch Pics
 It was an ever-changing install but I'm very
happy with it.  It is very sturdy.  One thing that I have noticed on many
panel installs that, in my opinion, is a bit of overkill is the
bracing/frame under the panel itself.  The panel's opwn frame is incredibly
strong and well built and I've never had an issue with the way we installed
them.  The panels are used like a hard bimini and it's pretty typical for
people to grab onto them while stepping onto/off of the boat or when heeled
way over.  She was moored in Isla Mujeres last year and Hurricane Michael
in its early stages swept through with 60 knot gusts and the panels held
strong with no damage at all.  Happy to answer any other specific questions
you may have.

+1 for the robocup - we have one on the pedestal that came with our 35-2,
and it works very well. Not fancy, but solid and well designed. It won't
hold wine glasses or large diameter water bottles, but works well for the
Contigo insulated mugs we mostly use.

Re: Stus-List cockpit cup holders

[Kevin Benoit via CnC-List]

Finally my time to shine.  I rarely sail without a beverage of some sort at
hand.  I second Fred's solution.  I really like the larger, sturdy 4 cup
mounted to the pedestal.  Flashlights, sunscreen, whole wine bottles, Ipad,
endless possibilities beyond the usual beverage vessel options and your
drink is always at hand and stable amidship.  I have extensively field
tested this setup and it never fails me.

Re: Stus-List cockpit cup holders

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

we use robocup holders and are very happy with them.  they are a heavy 
spring loaded clamp on style and can clamp on a stanchion, or the 
binnacle guard, or any other verticle 1-1/2 inch or less. They never 
fall off accidentally and we remove them after every sail.  Kind of like 
the instrument covers routine.  The instrument covers come off and go in 
the space where we store the robocups which then go out in the cockpit 
and vice versa.   they are like $20 each but our first one is probably 7 
years old and still works perfectly.  I guess the only downside is that 
the mounting orientation is fixed but, that has never been an issue for 
us as we mount them on the binnacle guard.


funny thing was, I kept eying one in the ships store at our last 
marina.  They had just one, clamped to a shelving rack.  Finally I said, 
I'll have that!  They all started laughing and making fun of me...  
"what the hell are you gunna do with that?!"  they said... We loved them 
so much a bought 2 more and I may buy another one to have 4.  There are 
2 cup-holders per robocup so we have 6 cup holders now and may have 2 
more soon

Sorry .. the Beckson holder is one that you attach with screws rather than 
suction cup.  I did not see the description when I posted the earlier link.  
However when you look at the photos you can see the screw mounting holes.

As others said.  Not frivolous at all.  Alternative is having boat manned by a 
bunch of one armed people.  As the saying goes … one hand for the boat and one 
for yourself (safety) … pretty difficult when one is occupied by a can of soda 
or other ….  Actually had a nephew sail with us one time who spent the entire 
time clutching a large energy drink.

Depending on if you are wheel or tiller and where traveller is located these 
are a useful option 
https://ca.binnacle.com/p10332/Beckson-Soft-Mate-Can-and-Air-Horn-Holder-Suction-Cup/product_info.html
On our Niagara 26 and J27 with mid cockpit mounted travellers had below the 
traveller either side.  On our Frers 33 we actually have one mounted on the 
side of the mast so that anyone doing mast work can have a place to put a 
beverage.  These are cheap, durable and easily replaced.

With a binnacle there are a number of other options.  The Snap-it others 
described are a bit pricey but durable and out of the way. We have a double on 
either side of the Binnacle on Persistence 
https://ca.binnacle.com/m411/Snapit!-Marine-Products/p6013/Snapit-Convertible-Single-or-Double-Drink-Holder-for-1-in.-Rail/product_info.html

Another Binnacle option which is popular and works well is the teak sort

The hanging on the lifeline styles do have some complications.  They can get 
entangles with lines and can in fact fall off …  It takes a pretty good amount 
of effort to make them fall off but it has been done.

I would also watch out for anthing that degrades with UV exposure and has

attached to bulkheads.

This may seem frivolous but I recognized a serious need for cockpit cup holders 
during a recent outing on Shangri-La.

I am looking for recommendations for types of and recommended locations for 
cockpit cup holders on a C 30 MK1 (1974).

There are lots of possibilities. I’m looking for something that is 
aesthetically pleasing and functional and will not interfere with activity in 
the cockpit.

As others said.  Not frivolous at all.  Alternative is having boat manned by a 
bunch of one armed people.  As the saying goes … one hand for the boat and one 
for yourself (safety) … pretty difficult when one is occupied by a can of soda 
or other ….  Actually had a nephew sail with us one time who spent the entire 
time clutching a large energy drink.

Depending on if you are wheel or tiller and where traveller is located these 
are a useful option 
https://ca.binnacle.com/p10332/Beckson-Soft-Mate-Can-and-Air-Horn-Holder-Suction-Cup/product_info.html
On our Niagara 26 and J27 with mid cockpit mounted travellers had below the 
traveller either side.  On our Frers 33 we actually have one mounted on the 
side of the mast so that anyone doing mast work can have a place to put a 
beverage.  These are cheap, durable and easily replaced.

With a binnacle there are a number of other options.  The Snap-it others 
described are a bit pricey but durable and out of the way. We have a double on 
either side of the Binnacle on Persistence

Re: Stus-List cockpit cup holders

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Frivolous?  Silly boater.  Cup holders are one of the most serious
accessories on a boat!

Seriously, Touche' has one of these on the pedestal guard:

http://mobility.snapitproducts.com/snapit-marine/products/r001c/r001c-single-drink-holder


However, I use it for my air horn.

We also have two white plastic flip down cup holders mounted on the cockpit
bulkhead at the steering station.  The white ones are not that noticeable.

I just replaced a pair of them.  Previously we had a pair like this:

https://www.amazon.com/American-Technology-CH00100-BLK-1-Collapsible-Adjustable/dp/B000Q887MY/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=folding%2Bmarine%2Bcup%2Bholders=1569848661=automotive=1-6=1


Over time, the arms that hold the upper part of the drink became loose.
They would open up and allow the drink to fall out.

Now we're trying some like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Adjustable-Cupholders-Vehicles-44040/dp/B073CXJXJQ/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=folding+marine+cup+holders=1569848881=automotive=1-2

The arms slide rather than pivot.  Hoping they last a bit longer.

I use Snapit products in the cockpit, especially on the pedestal guard.  I 
assume they would work on a 30 Mark 1.

I also have the twisted wire ones that hang on the lifelines. They work
well for us. We have this kind:
