Hand mixing on a boat gets much easier when you have the right tools. Here are a few of my favorites no galley should be without.
Non-Electric Alternatives for Boats
Electricity is precious on most boats.
Make your limited supply go further with non-electric or solar-powered alternatives for lights, cooking and other everyday needs.

American Press Coffee Maker
The American Press Coffee Maker — no electricity need, no glass to break, no filters to throw away — just delicious coffee!

In many cruising locales, laundromats or laundry services are few and far between. So we resort to doing laundry on the boat . . . a neat tool to make it a lot easier on your back and a few tips on how I do it.
Thermal Cooker
With a thermal cooker, start dinner when it’s convenient & transfer pans to the thermal cooker. Let it cook 4 to 8 hours while you do other things!

The Luci is a great solar light, but sometimes the original one is just too bright!
Luci Lights
Really bright solar lights that are perfect as dinghy lights, in the cockpit, emergency anchor lights and more!
