Now this is a subject I can handle. I have tried many different devices including the lil suckers. They work great with plastic cups and cans, but the larger styrofoam cups don't fit in them. Since I am usually at the helm, I prefer a gimbled holder on each side hanging from the stern rail. They aren't in the way of anything so nobody is getting cut or bruised during normal sailing operations. For the crew, they are on their own. If they can't hang on to a cup and stay in their appointed positions, they don't have any business being out with me. Actually I've looked at several cup holders but haven't really found anything that suited my needs. The lil suckers work great, but if the gelcoat gets a little dirty or chalked, they won't grab.

I think this one goes out to Rummy. What are the preferred cup holder configurations for the Rhodes 22? Gimbaled hanging off the rail? suction cups to the bulkhead? I finally convinced the admiral to join me for a sail today and she has decided cup holders are absolutely necessary. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/cup-holders-tp23916884p23916884.html Sent from the Rhodes 22 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.See the original archive post
