Galley
The Galley: Where Form Meets Function
PS asks cruising cooks and chefs: What makes an ideal sailboat galley?
Cooking a great meal in a cavernous kitchen outfitted with every imaginable culinary device can be difficult enough, but doing it in the confined space of a sailboat presents greater challenges, some the result of ill-conceived galley layouts. But what makes up a dream galley for cooking underway? To find out, Practical Sailor interviewed full-time chefs working aboard sailboats, as well as cruising sailors who have experienced first-hand the challenges of putting together a meal in a pounding sea. The report looks at the ideal location and for the galley, counterspace and ventilation needs, sink and stove must-haves, storage tips, and safety concerns.
