Interesting:
In the pick it looks like the frames have bulges in them to accommodate the glass window. So it could be the glass is not curved, the frame is allowing the glass to be straight. This window is on s/v Eagle.

I found this picture on the FOGers group I think of a front window, glass.

Stainless Steel Wok
BOAT•UMBRELLA
We have a BOAT•UMBRELLATM from Magma that we got when we had the Catalina 30’. It works nice but we seldom use it now. I have heard of people using them in the dink for the sun and also pointing them toward the bow to keep off the spray when sitting forward.

Serving/Cutting Table
We have a 12-3/4” x 20” Bait/Filet Mate™ Serving/Cutting Table by Magma. When I sold the old\new square grill I also let go of the clamp that holds the table to the rail. It also worked on our old\new square grill. I should not have sold it with the grill. The clamp that holds the table to the rail was different than the one in the picture. Ours held the table to the SS 1” rail.
It cost more than I want to spend right now to replace it. We have not been using the table so the purchase is on hold. Maybe we will find one at the marine swap meet.
The table complements the round grills nicely as it gives you a place to put the food, dishes etc. We plan on just putting it out when we grill. It does take up some of the limited rail space. I want to put it by the grill and that would place it by the T in the cockpit. I want to keep the T clear so I can lean out while at the helm. We have not put anything in the cockpit or on the rail by the T. It is a nice clean are.
Right now we store the table under the stove inside where the door is. Not a bad spot but seems a waste of space for the table. We will move it soon. Could make a place for it in the lazzerett, it seems a better place.

Baby Corner Protectors
As you can see we would like something pleasing to look at and that would hold up under wind and sea conditions. They would not look or stay looking good or stay put in the marine environment.
The SP may look like it is not in the way but you do at times when the boat is moving you brush by it. The corner edges are very jagged and sharp. In a bad sea they could tear you up and that is the worst time, if there were ever a better?
We will also be adding two more 135’s and a smaller one on the bimini.
The “Dream Baby Round Corner Protectors 8 Pack” look good.
I found them on amazon.com.
Something like this would work.
Need to find out what the dimensions represent?

Sink Basket
We have been trying to add another Sink Basket and a stopper but have not found the right size. I am not sure what that size is. I think the stopper is 1 5/8.
I would be nice to save on water when rinsing the dishes.

Henckels knifes purchased and keep an edge
San Diego CA, January 2011
We have a Henckels Kitchen Block Set of knifes and then added some Henckels steak knives to the set.
They are nice and seem to do the job fine.

We ended up getting rid of the wooden block and are using the knife sheaths instead.
Tea Kettle
We bought a KitchenAid 2-Quart Stainless Steel Tea Kettle and it has a great whistle. It also is easy to keep up. The handle could have more of a heat protector but I like it.
I like some coffee and Debbie likes tea so I make coffee in a press and she uses tea bags. This makes the tea pot a very useful item for us.
I think we got it from Amozon.com but they have them at BB&B.
“A stylish addition to your kitchen, this 2-quart tea kettle with removable lid in a sleek brushed 18/10 stainless steel is just the thing for tea time. The handle features a heat-resistant silicone for a safe grip and the kettle has a triple-ply base guaranteeing you fast and even heating. A whistle lets you know when the water is ready. Measures 7" H x 8" W x 9" L. Hand wash only. Limited lifetime warranty.”

Oxo Good Grips
I like the Oxo Good Grips products and have bought a lot for the boat. Like the timer and other products. I have gotten them form BB$Beyond.
Although the timer takes batteries I like it. Could go simple with a wind up one but this one keeps reminding me it is time. Wind up you get one ring and that’s it.
The turners are also good for installing the port holes (buttle) but they need to get trashed after :).

Collapsible Prep Bowl Set
We also recently bought this Progressive International Collapsible Prep Bowl Set, Blue and White from Amizon.com.
I had previously bought some nice rubber bowls (Oxo Good Grips) from BB&Beyond but they took up a lot of room to store. The smaller one we kept on the boat as it has a pour spout I like and is a handy bowl. The others we removed.
So this bowl set helps take the place of the ones we removed. I think we still need a larger one for the Jiffy pop corn I like to make on the stove for when we watch movies on the boat.

Emeril sauce pan
We bought a sauce pan from Bed Bath and Beyond.
We wanted a pan to make sauces in and heat syrup etc.
We liked it because it has spouts on each side. It is easy to clean (as I do the dishes I like that) and it has a nice lid. The 'in the lid strainer' is ingenious in my opinion and the dual pour spouts are practically a necessity.

Magma pans
I just ordered a 10-360G Stock Pot/ Sauté Pan Cover from Magma.
It is for the Magma cook 9 Piece Stainless Steel ''Nesting'' Cookware Coated with Teflon® we have.
At the time we bought the kit it was a nine piece kit. Now it is ten and comes with the top.
We really like the set.
I think we bought the original set off eBay.

Pressure Cooker
We bought a Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker from Amazon.com.
We have used it a few times and I have made some killer pot roast in it. I have also tried chicken but it was not too good.
I have heard it is needed for chicken in Mexico as it is kind of tuff, but that is only a rumor.

Navigation Lamps purchased
After much thought as to the fit on our teak cap rail on our sail boat and other factors I have purchased the:
Hella Deck Mount LED Navigation Lamps in black. They come in pairs.
hellamarine.com
I will comment on the install process and their use as soon as I install them.
They will be here in the usual 8-12 days or whatever.

2010 San Diego, CA
Well they already got help doing that so we helped with the boom.
Donna and Brig have owned several boats including a Tyana 42’ and Brig is well versed on the Perkins 4-108.
They have since sold the boat and bought a Cal 34.

The front winnow project has become a problem.
Kit it or build it?
We do have "Refrigeration for Pleasureboaters" a supposedly must have book and he says closed cell foam of some type I can not find. Pg 11 "Urathane foam" in sheets. It does come in a two part liquid but I do not want to mess with that.
Refrigeration for Pleasureboaters
I have been going around and around about the insulation. Seems www.rparts.com thinks the HD type would be OK as some dock mates have used it with good success at my marina when building refer boxes.
We still have not decided if I want to build the unite from rparts or buy it from Fridgeboat or Adler/Barbour ColdMachine or Seafrost or whatever. They all are good and well which option?
Fridgeboat got the best write up in Pratical Sailor but they said all are good and there is no bad choice.
They did not eval rparts.
rparts.com
frigoboat.com
seafrost.com
Coldmachine
We would like to have a skill to barter\trade with to cruise and refrigeration I think I would like. So building it myself seems the way to go. You really do not save any money, but you have all the knowledge to fix refers\AC and all the tools.
Debbie can sew and we do have a good canvas sewing machine.
It is the time factor!
But for now I must first build the box.

Ice box conversion soon
Looks like we will be starting the refer ice box conversion soon.
Tom Brown of FOGgers said he used a 5.7 oz fiberglass fabric over a very dense insulation.
So I will be shopping for some 5.7 oz fiberglass fabric and start the fiberglass soon.
Got to start this project. It has been tough to start because it has been an effective ice box,. It has served us well all summer by just putting in some ice. It lasts for days and keeps everything cold.
Ok we are not in the tropics and the summer has been cool but still.
Ice is also a pain.
Be glad to get started on it. It is another project that will take some time but will make our lives a lot easier.
Looks like I will be taking a short trip to:

Academic Computing Sail
082110
Saturday we went sailing on a NU Academic Computing sail. That is the name of the department I work in at my University.
Two colleagues and I (the boss could not make it) and one roommate went out along with my wife Debbie.
The departure time was 11:00 AM and arrival time was 4:00 PM. We mostly made both.
Departed a little late and came back ten minutes early.
We furnished the sandwiches and the water, anything else the guests brought.
Only one person drank alcohol and only moderately.
No smokers!
No cell phones!
We hoisted the main right out of the slip after we entered the channel to the harbor. Bob mostly did that (Joes roommate).
I asked the guys to remove all the fenders and place them in the lazeratte.
We then motor sailed into Americas Cup Harbor and did a little tour of it.
We then left ACH and popped the jib as we got into the bay. It was a lot of sailing from there. The Wind was coming out of the North West and it was about 15 knots. We let out the sails so as to not have too much heel and cruised all the way out to the first buoy of the San Diego channel. No tacking needed. We all took turns at the helm but it was mostly Joe and Bob. Everyone did well with no accidental jibes etc.
There was a decent size rolling swell which made it more fun. With the boat de-powered a bit we could all move around the boat fine and were comfortable, not pounding into the swell.
At the outer buoy we did a jibe and cruised back in. There was a lot of boat traffic at the mouth of the harbor but the guys handled it fine even while pinching.
We pulled in the jib inside the harbor (watching time) and motored to the sea lions at the bait docks, a favorite place for everyone.
They have it made!
We then did a motor sail tour of the Shelter island basin. Then a motor sail back to the dock.
All went well and it was a great day and every thing worked perfect on the boat all the time. The toilet, the engine etc all worked well. All guests were considerate and had fun.
