One
of the many small modifications made to our 1975 MK-II Yawl SHEARWATER over the years (at the
'request' of the 'executive chef' Kaye), is a 'Galley Tool Holder'. It's very easy to build and install,
consisting of 2 strips of teak (1-1/4" x 3/8" x 14"), a few large
brass cup hooks, about 1' of 1/8" bungee cord, 4 small (#6 x 1" SS
oval head) wood screws and 4 #6 SS finishing washers. The tool holder is located just above the
galley chopping block (on the MK-II), and just aft of the galley non-opening
port (on the MK-II). The installation
for the MK-I would be similar. The below
photos should be self explanatory.
