We did see those - or more specifically the larger version made from Starboard, at Downwind Marine in San Diego. We ended up deciding to purchase a pair of flexible cutting-board material sheets from the Container Store for now, with a plan to build some sort of overboard-draining fish prep table later on, maybe when we haul out this summer. For now cleanup is a matter of getting on top of the mess right away, before the blood has a chance to stain the antiskid. :) Hah!

Thanks for the detailed account of the fish cleaning. We have an even smaller deck than you and I have often wondered how to best clean a bloody fish, like tuna, without the ongoing battle with fish scales, parts and smells for days or even weeks! have you even seen this? it's a cutting board on a bucket. http://tinyurl.com/tunaboard Dani I guess I should have subscribed to the comment because I just today realized you responded.

Well honestly, the most sailing I did before we left offshore was coastal, probably ten trips total out and around the Gulf Islands in the TIE Fighter. Prior to that, a couple of years of dinghy sailing (lasers, tasers, vanguards, hobie-cats, etc), and then a bit of a history of sailing as a kid - definitely not much! We were lucky to not hit any proper "storms" coming down the coast, though we did see gale-force winds a couple of times. Terrifying! The only thing you can do is reduce your sails until you're basically flying a tiny scrap of canvas - then even with big winds you've still got a controllable boat, and all you have to worry about is waves... it gets uncomfortable, but if you've got control of your boat, it's rarely actually dangerous. :) Hey!
