[Public-List] companionway step pre liner boats

[Rolph and Joan Townshend via Public-List]

Herman - There was a small non-gimbaled alcohol stove next to the sink. It
never worked very well; so most owners got rid of it and covered the hole
with a nice  cutting board type hinged cover and used the space under for
storage of various galley gear.
We got a butane fired single burner stove (West Marine) that worked very
well and stored it in the drawer under the starboard bunk seat right next
to the galley.
