Best of all....Jim Sears. Ullman labeled too!

LMAO....I asked Paul Young to mold some permanent holders into the new Viper tool....he laughed...and said no :-(

I can't, for the life of me, figure out why more builders don't include molded in holders. I have a Santa Cruz 50 with 8 of them molded in....they rock! Gotta love the Santa Cruz boys...kinda surprised there wasn't a molded in roach clip someplace too ;-) 

Little bit of folklore...each Santa Cruz yacht has a hidden roach laminated into the hull, for good luck !!

My other boat!  I drove the Viper two weeks ago and regular crew raced the big boat.  Every time we got close to them they would shower us with beers, the stack of beer cans that came off the boat was AWESOME!  And we won the race.

Eddy, I am not sure they last long enough to be static.

Here's a shot of my "custom" Ullman beer holders... Yes, one has water, but you can clearly see a bottle of Mt Gay in the other!

Those are awsome!  Are they made out of nylon webbing?  How are they attached to the boat?  I hate to put any holes in the boat, velcro???

There are a few companies that make suction cup bottle/can holders, or even bigger mug holders.

The problem is that you do not drink fast enough. Round a mark and quick crew gets you a beer before hit the offset mark. Set kite and toss empty forward.
