I *DO* live on my boat. A breadmaker is not a good match to living aboard unless you are tied to a dock and plugged in all the time. Even then, they take an obscene amount of space.

I make bread by hand. With only a little bit of practice it takes about the same amount of time to get the dough in the first rise as to load up a bread-machine. I put the dough in the engine room to rise - it's always warm in there even if it has been a while since I ran anything.

Punching the dough down and making loaves for the second rise is trivial.

On a crewed charter (that is what you do isn't it?) there is an entertainment value for your guests of making bread by hand. Heck, I entertain myself making bread. *grin*

sail fast and eat well, dave
