Brilliant tinned foods storage idea (thwarted)

[Graham_Wright]

Standard soup cans and the like, fit nicely inside 3" diameter down pipes. With a cutout at the bottom, they are ideal for vertical storage (which suits us in the saloon table). Pull out the bottom one and the rest drop down.

Standard size is now 68mm

What's a 'down pipe'?

What's a 'down pipe'?

A depressed ‘up pipe.’

That is not the proper Corinthian yachtsman's way, which is that tins should be chucked higgledy-piggledy into the dampest and most inaccessible locker; where they will soon go rusty and shed their labels, which will turn into pulp and block the bilge pump strum box.

One filled with dope instead of crack?
(or the vertical pipe off roof guttering)

With "surprise" for dinner every day

Mushy peas and apricots, anyone?

I like the idea but how about fitting a cooling jacket and using it for handy beer dispensing.

The culinary equivalent of Russian Roulette.

The combination of beef stew with custard is not to be missed!

I find tinned beer tends to corrode and leak into the bilge.

Any suggestions for storing the Raymarine 2000 tiller pilot?

Post it to Namibia?

I used a domestic vacuum packer , but didn't vacuum the pack, then poked holes for the two pins & the wire. It kept my last one dry enough to sell with the boat after a few years use.
