So your ice isn't sitting IN the water?

draining the water into a small bucket and then emptying the

bucket.


What a poor design.


Actually, most of the Camper and Nicholson designs, including this

one (the
smallest they ever designed, I believe) are pretty well-regarded. A

matter
of design priorities. My last boat had a small icebox with a nice

drain to a
thru-hull. Never occurred to me that that wasn't almost universal.

What it
didn't have is the capacity for as much food and beer as I'd ever

need to
store, and a nice rack to hold a block of ice near the top of the

box above
the food and drink. Not sure the trade-off is the best one, but it

was a
valid design choice.
