- 1978 Californian 38' Trawler
Over the winter I replaced the cabinets in my 38' Californian LRC.
Design Goals:
- 2" of rigid foam around refrigerator to improve efficiency.
- Eliminate cabinets doors which required getting on the floor to access stored items.
- Make silverware drawers deeper so spatulas wouldn't get caught when closing the drawer.
- Replace built in microwave with an oven. The Admiral likes to bake!
- Make the drawers deeper (21 inches) to take advantage of unused depth. Factory drawers were 16 inches deep.
- Replace double sink with a single.
Outcome:
- Eliminated all doors. Only drawers in new installation
- All drawers are soft close, full extension with push button locks
- One fold down storage area at front of sink.
- The refrigerator compressor runs much less and contents are colder.
- Cabinets are face frame construction & made of Philippine Mahogany.
- The Admiral loves it!
