The electric galley, sorted.
Built from brushed stainless steel, designed by sailors, tested at sea.
Product Overview
Curo is a purpose-built, gimballed oven and hob enclosure for monohull sailing yachts. It eliminates the need for gas onboard, offering a safer, simpler, and more sustainable galley solution.
Developed and tested over two years of full-time liveaboard sailing from Sweden to Greece, Curo has proved itself at anchor, underway, and in harbour.
Why Curo?
- Freedom from gas – no more refilling bottles, hunting for regulators, or worrying about leaks.
- Safe by design – robust gimballed enclosure with 6 mm mounting plates and a removable retaining plate.
- Marine-ready cooking – designed for a high-performance Panasonic combi oven and a two-burner induction hob.
- Reliable – minimal moving parts, engineered for strength and simplicity.
- UK manufactured – built by a family-run sheet metal specialist with decades of commercial experience.
- Sustainable – part of the shift towards fully electric cruising.
Product Details
- Material: Brushed stainless steel (2 mm plate, 4 mm retaining plate, 6 mm mounting brackets).
- Dimensions: 530 mm (W) × 460 mm (H + 25 mm fixed fiddle) × 440 mm (D).
- Fit: Matches the footprint of most standard monohull gas ovens from the last 40–50 years.
- Installation: Two vertical surfaces required for bracket mounting. The front retaining plate removes so the oven slides in, then locks securely.
- Weight: Approx. 12–15 kg (enclosure only).
Appliances
Oven: Panasonic 4-in-1 Combination Steam Oven (NN-CS89LBBPQ)
- True oven functionality, including convection baking, steaming, grilling, and microwaving.
- Large capacity with fold-down door and full-size trays.
- Used daily in liveaboard conditions for over two years.
Hob: Two-burner “domino-style” domestic induction (<55 mm depth)
- Any two-burner domino induction hob with a depth under 55 mm.
- Units are simply bonded in with marine-grade sealant (e.g. Sikaflex); traditional worktop brackets are unnecessary due to the enclosure design.
- Safe, efficient, and easy to clean.
Power Requirements
- Inverter: 5000 W pure sine wave recommended for simultaneous oven + hob use.
- Alternatives: Shore power or a generator.
- Lithium battery banks: Recommended when using an inverter, though not essential.
- Solar alone: Possible for occasional use, but regular cooking requires significant storage and generation capacity.
- Further electrical integration advice is available from Omega Marine.
Proof in Practice
Curo has been tested for over two years of full-time liveaboard use. We spend around 90% of our time at anchor, cooking daily at sea and in harbour. From baking bread on passage to steaming vegetables while under sail, the system performs as reliably as at home.
The gimbal and retaining plate keep the oven secure in all conditions. Unlike many marine gas oven mounts, which use thin brackets with limited fixing points, Curo relies on a solid 6 mm plate and simple geometry: once installed, the oven cannot fall out.

FAQs
Is Curo suitable for catamarans?
Not at present. Gimbals aren’t required on catamarans, though custom mounting may be possible.
Do you sell the appliances too?
No. You buy the oven and hob directly from suppliers, retaining full warranty cover.
Can I customise the design?
Not for now. To keep production streamlined and costs down, Curo is offered in a single configuration. Contact us if you have a special requirement.
How safe is it?
Very. Induction surfaces aren’t hot to touch shortly after switching off, and the gimballed mount is far stronger than standard marine oven fixings.
What happens to my deposit if production is delayed?
If we cannot start production within 8 weeks of the first order, deposits are fully refundable.
Can I request a refund after placing my order?
Yes. You may request a refund of your deposit any time after 8 weeks have passed since your payment and before the production run begins.
Can I cancel once production has started?
No. Once manufacturing is underway, deposits are non-refundable, as materials and fabrication costs are already committed.
How will I know what’s happening?
We will keep all deposit holders updated regularly, so you’ll always know where we are in the production timeline.
