Hi Nigel, there is no need to worry about a hatch next to the centre board case.  Loads have them fitted as they were optional extras, and i think most ofthe boat show specials had them, you could fit a bucket in side for your car keys.  Its the hatchs near the mast tube you need to run away from!!! 

 

I would buy one because i hate having a bottle in my toestrap elastic, and the holder round the mast looks bloody messy!

I use a bit of string, works just as well and cost nothing, cos it was lying around the dinghy park.

Buy a sports bottle and trap it inbetween the bungee of the toestrap.

Or better still, tape a bottle holder to the lower mast section! (That you nicked off some guys bike!)

What about this then  Clicky.........quite a clever drinks holder for a dinghy (I think $29.95 equates to about £17)

Maybe 'practically minded' would be a better euphemism
