You may be interested to see the cutting board that I found in my local supermarket (Giant, for those in the Chesapeake Bay area). It's made by Farberware, which is a widely distributed name, and fits as though designed for the job. I put on eight rubber feet from the local hardware store (using stainless screws instead of the ones provided) in order to locate it on the sink. Otherwise it is as bought.
This is something I have wanted ever since purchasing my boat last year, but creating one myself was low on the priority list. With this easy solution available I rushed out to duplicate your purchase. Here's what I found:
Farberware Item # 78744-10
Available by mail order at 877-327-2932
Normally $9.99, currently on sale for $4.98.
My shipping is going to be around $6. I figure $11 for a "custom" cutting board insert is a pretty good deal.
John & Larry,
Thanks for the information on the cutting board. Now I can make a few points with the admiral.
Not related to the cutting board, I noticed you have the same interior fabric as I have. Do you know where I might find matching material?

Thanks John,
When I called Farberware to order, as soon as I gave the girl the number she said, "the cutting board, you must own a sailboat".
The power of the web and this website!
Ran
Re matching material. Catalina is still in business, what a great source. :)

I got the same response from the girl when I called today. It sounds like they put the whole stock aside for us. Good thing they didn't know the demand before they dropped the price!
There are a few replies missing from the cutting board subject that were on the old web site, such as the picture of the cutting board and my question is the cutting board the same on both sides ?
Don't know what happened. Add it in again.
Thanks,
Reverse side is flat. No groove. No logo.
:D
Hello all
Ordered 2 boards today told me about 2 weeks delivery time. Apparently they are recieving alot of orders as stated in earlier post.
It will be a great addition to our galley.
What a great website.
The Capt. ordered mine for me today and I'm also on backorder. The lady wanted to know why a lady was calling this time. The Capt explained,"I am the Captain". The lady loved it and they talked for about 15 mins.
Don't ya wish everyone with a business had someone like that answering the phone. :D
Received mine and it fits just as advertised! Great addition to the boat.
To get the feet positioned correctly (feet bought at Home Depot) I used a template made from 2 pieces of 8.5 x 11 notebook paper. I taped the sheets together to make a 16x11 template, folded one corner, taped it to the sink, and marked where the feet should go. Then I transfered the positions to the cutting board and attached the feet.
VERY easy. There aren't too many 10 minute jobs that will make this much difference.
The store for the cutting board is near me. If anyone wants one, please let me know. If I can get a bunch of orders, I could purchase them all at once, and ship them out. Might be cheaper!
The cutting board find looks great. I live in Nova Scotia and may be able to pick a board up locally. What are the dimensions of the board?
Regards

Donay's Dream I 8)

where can I find a picture of the cutting board ?
I searched under projects with no luck.....
I'd like to see it "in place".....
thanks
Brad
The picture got lost in translation from the message board to this board in the past week.
Sorry.
It looks great. Just imagine a perfect fit on the starboard side galley sink with great wood.l
I bought one, will post a flick when it arrives.
John
You mentioned you put on eight feet. Where did you locate them?
With ours, I figure four ought to do it, one each side about halfway.
What do you think, and how well does yours work?
Thanks,
I don't want to sour this thread because it is a great idea at a great price. However, I'm baffled because my board arrived and doesn't fit in my standard sink, (Hull #1393). I'll have to do some cutting around the cold water "handle". I'm sorry the picture is no longer available because I could swear we had the same faucet - but my memory could be wrong. I know I recieved the same board- I talked to the same friendly girl when placing the order and my board is the same dimensions as previously described. Maybe just one for the Twilight Zone. It'll be a great addition once modified and I want to thank John again for the info. :lol:
John : Don't be baffled!!
I'll bet that you have the same cutting board in the picture and the same C34 faucet fixture. What you are experiencing is the "Catalina production line WILL move on".
I wouldn't be surprised if they ran out of the standard C34 sink and thru in a substitute sink!!!! They do that with everything else - why not the sink! Smile :)
I received mine and not having the photo for reference, I went brain dead and forgot about the mounting feet. Since the board did not fit perfectly, (Hull 1119) I routed off two corners, notched out for the faucet and now board fits perfect! But on top of sink flush with counter top so it still does not go flying off. Guess if I had photo and re-read the initial threads, I could have save time by fitting using feet. What ever... :roll:
My cutting board arrived but did not fit. Corners are wrong, width is wrong, faucet is wrong.. I suspect my sink came out of Catalina employee's lunchroom when they remodeled back in 1992. Boat #1205
I had to modify my cutting board also. Looks like the newer boats have a little different sink and faucets.
