I have seen a quite a few postings, individuals that have a wine glass holder on the aft port side. They are in that narrow area just aft of the stove above the cooler.

I am interested if these are store bought units, or home made. Any info is appreciated.

Frank:

Home-made. Measure carefully because the width of the gap up there (not constant from front to back) is just wide enough to accept 2 widths of the wood, the width of the glass stem and very little wiggle room.

Thats the one I saw and liked. The picture is a little better, but could you explain in depth how you made it.

Hi Frank,

Here is a link to a solid teak wine glass holder that is up for auction on eBay:

[url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2366704533&category=20689&sspagename=rvi:1:1"]Teak Wine Glass Holder[/url]

This wine glass rack won't fit in the space where Richard mounted his, but it looks like you might be able to cut it to fit. There are no bids on it as of this posting, and the opening bid is only $0.50 ... that's hard to beat!

BTW, you might find a place to mount this without cutting it up. I used that narrow space above the "ice box" to mount a teak paper towel holder, and I store wine glasses elsewhere.

'Just a thought ... good luck!

Frank, those teak wineglass holders are available from Boat US. I have mine installed in front of the bulkhead by the stove, the one shown is where I have my paper towel rack which works well. Wine glass holder screwed to finish strip that runs behind the light and just foreward of stove bulkhead. Good luck.

I just bought some teak wine holders just like the one above brand new for $7 on ebay.

Frank:

Sorry for the delay, but I've been busy with out of town guests.

Anyway, I prefer hanging wine glasses in that gap because it's virtually impossible for them to ever be in the way. The one on ebay seems to be a good deal (currently $6.50), but I don't know if one row can be cut off to fit the gap. There's very little play room and the thickness of the teak and the slot could prevent it fitting. While I'm far from an expert woodworker (used all inexpensive hand tools on this one), I like doing little projects like this.

I used one of those inexpensive, little thin sheets of Poplar from Home Depot. Measured and cut the top piece first to span the entire top of the gap (this is the limiting/maximum width) and length to fit 4 glasses. After making sure this piece fit, I cut the side, hanging-down pieces to fit the height of my wine glass bases, then cut the bottom pieces sized to fit the width of the wine glass stems. In each case, allow a little extra space so the glasses slide easily in and out, but not too much that they can fall out. I rounded-off the corners which rub against the glass stems. Then I just glued the pieces together. It's not super strong, but it's location guaranties very little stress will ever be put upon it (just the weight of the glasses). I finished it with some rubbed effect varnish. The Poplar isn't a great match to the rest of the interior teak, but it's very hard to notice given that it's pretty dark up there.

Hope this helps.

My current project is putting in a "mini/half bulkhead" between the starboard cabin seat and the quarterberth. While not really functional/structual in any way, I'm trying to create a visual separation between those two areas of the interior which will hopefully match and balance the one between the stove and the seat on the other side. I saw a picture of one once, but it stuck out quite a bit, preventing easy access to the quarterberth (which I use often for sleeping and storage). I'm thinking mine will follow the contours of the seat back and bottom, just sticking out a little from each. We'll see...
