Remodeled Galley

21 August 2009
Steve Hollen
Though some would say installing Granite counter tops would weigh the boat down too much. I would say keeping my crew in the galley a higher priority. I added drawers where there was a refrigerator, added cabinet doors to store pots and pans and a wine rack over the engine cover (something to keep the champagne in). Finally, though you are never finished, I also moved the facing of all the cabinets away from the bulkheads to allow a table sized plate to lay flat inside (the companion way ladder has been removed for a clearer picture).
Comments
Vessel Name: Andalucia
Vessel Make/Model: Irwin 37 MKIV
Hailing Port: Mazatlan Mexico
Crew: Steve Hollen
About: Steve has owned his Irwin 37 for over 30 years and has cruised in it everywhere you can put a boat from Ensenada to Santa Barbara (including "inside" the Painted Cave). The winter of 2009 he headed south to continue that adventure.
Extra: The AndalucĂ­a is the antipathy of the Pardee Cruising style since she has more toys per foot than any boat, guaranteeing something to fix in some exotic place.
