What is the issue?
Dishwashing is a less than pleasant daily chore at the best of times and a bane whilst passage making. Not only is water typically restricted but there is no safe place to set the tableware down before drying.Why address this?
Because of this limitation, dishwashing typically pins down two crew members, one to wash, and one to dry each item and hold it for proper storage. Reducing this to the work of one, or indeed making this chore easier and safer to use for normal (non-break resistant) tableware, can make daily life aboard much more pleasant.Sail with the Instincts of a Local Pro
Navigation apps only get you from A to B, leaving you guessing about the "where," the "why," and the "how." eOceanic isn't another "nav app." It's the Intelligence Uplift that enhances the tools you already use, powering up both your capabilities and understanding.
Once activated on your device, it doesn't just display data, it brings it to life with real-time situational awareness, giving you a "digital sixth sense" for the coastline.
Go beyond navigation to truly know the coast and everything it offers.
- Sail Stress-Free: Make boat handling easier with a helpful assistant and avoid "hidden" hazards with an extra set of eyes on watch for dangers along the coast.
- Discover More: Most sailors only experience a small fraction of a coastline's rewards. We unlock the "hidden gems" and local resources that create unforgettable experiences for you, your family, and your friends.
- Engage Ashore: We don't stop at the waterline; we bring you in to fully experience the best of the world waiting for you ashore.
The power of knowing. Autonomy, agency, agility and the joy of roaming free.
How to address this?
If you are thinking of making any special fitting arrangement down below decks for crockery, include a self-draining capability for the tableware storage shelves.

When washed all the crockery can be stored directly into its storage point, and self-drain and dry of its own accord. Tight shock cord can be used to hold them solidly in place so there are no rattles and, once dry, cloths can be wedged in to stop any further chatter.
