[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 1742, Issue 1

I made a removable piece that goes inside the door and keeps the cool in. It also keeps everything else in. If it is rough and you open the door, all the stuff jumps out.  

I sail with three kids - they are always in that box!

I like the access to the refreshments from the deck. It is also handy if I am sailing shorthanded as I can put a block of cheese, marmite, crackers and apples all on the top shelf with the beverages, and I  good to go.

Having said all that, the lower icebox is   much much better and if you are really cruising it is probably preferred.

John is correct - 

I think the idea with the cockpit access to the box was to make it easier to
load ice in, although people used it for direct access to 'refreshments'.
The hatch in the cockpit dramatically cut the ability to ice box to retain
ice.  The other problem with the old style boxes was the front opening
door... Every time it is opened the cold air inside flowed out, filling the
box with warm air.  This can't happen with the later top accessing ice
boxes.

Debra, The reason Whitby went away from that style and many owners converted
to the more modern version is because they were impossible to insulate
properly. Are you really sure you want to do this ?

Best

Debra,

My boat still has the original icebox. I will try to take some pictures
and
get some dimensions tomorrow or the next day depending on the amount of
snow
we get tonight and send them to you.

I have an Alberg 30 that had a fridge installed where the old ice box was.
I
have removed it and want to build the icebox that was  accesible from both
the cockpit and the cabin port side. Does any one have this set up still
could you take a picture and dimensions and send it to me at
debrafontaine at live.com
