Let me caveat that question: Is a gimballed stove really necessary on a modern, wide-beamed yacht where the angle of heel is seldom more that 10 to 15 degrees when sailing?
Much of my time in recent years has been spent aboard a beamy yacht and I can't remember when I last used the gimbals on the stove. However, much of that was day-sailing and so the number of occasions we tried to seriously use the stove when sailing were limited. I now find my self specifying electric cooking for a new boat with rather longer passages in mind. Given the lack of choice for gimballed induction hobs, I am wondering whether the combination of deep pans and decent fiddles will be sufficient.
Thoughts please?!
