Just put the finishing touches on the forward stateroom. The last thing was
a 6 drawer stack. Stainless full extention slides with push-pull latches.
Perfectly aligned with an even 1/32" clearance around all the drawer faces.
As I was admiring my work I suddenly remembered that this is a boat! Things
move!

Now I am worried that once Rutu is in the water and has tension on the
rigging if the frame racks even a little I will never get the drawers open
again. I am thinking I should plane the drawer faces down a little but how
much allowance should I give for movement?


Take the drawers out before launch, put them in after a hard sail,
trim to fit. I would just go for 1/4" clearance and not worry.
Beautiful form always follows function.

Don't forget, humidity + wood = fatter wood.
