[Rhodes22-list] Why Do You Want Seaworthy Drinkholder?.

[Julie Thorndycraft]

Jim,
At one of the boat shows we purchased several cup holders that attach on to 
the rails with a clamp. They are gimbled so as the boat heels, your drink 
stays level. We also bought one that holds a wine bottle in the center and 
can hold two wine glasses on either side. We tried suction cup holders in 
the past and someone always ended up knocking them off or they came off on 
their own.
We're very happy with the ones we purchased and haven't lost a drink since.
Julie
