When I go sailing I need a water bottle and I am never able to figure out where to put it. Is there a way that I am able to attach it to my boat so when I flip it doesn't fall out?
The Bottleport sure looks cool, but if you bothered to read the thread 49208 linked to, you would know it's illegal. The company that's selling it once again has no idea what is allowed in the class and what isn't.
And btw, I use a piece of elastic that runs through the toestrap fittings at the back of the cockpit, with a bowline at each end.

i have only been to one regatta (masters worlds) where they would care about the legality of the water bottle.
I would have no bad thoughts about using a bottle port in all the other regattas.
I use one or two 20 OZ bicycle water bottles held in the back with bungee cord. one bungee goes through my hiking strap lines through both traveler fairleads and back through the hiking strap lines....there they are tied to each water bottle.
The following are also legal, but not often seen:
Water bottle bracket screwed into cockpit corner or corners
Shock cord retaining water bottle led back to one or both traveller fairleads
Shock cord retaining water bottle led up centre of hiking strap padding
Drink bottles anywhere on board and attached by a tie to the drilled grab rail
Label me a cheater if you want but......unless your in the top tier of national and world domination just do what you need and what you find easy to use for your water bottle. Who cares if it's legal. It's just water.
