I saw this and thought it was kinda a unique take on a old problem.

take a can hugger and a length of line or webbing, and hang the "feed bag" around your neck.

if not the "feed bag" you could always use the trapeze hook when you're not trapped, you could always put the can opening into the trapeze hook

I have one of those and they work great. They bolt to the tramp through a grommet of your choosing. Doesn't screw up the tramp or your fiberglas. They are really heavy duty rubber and hold the can or water bottle really tight. I haven't found anything out there that's better.
"Bah humbug?" "Drinking salt water?" This deal stays solid even when I capsized. Fine, have your drink rolling around on your tramp... I say cheers!

PS I LOVE their description:
Very substantial product and is not a flimsy piece of imported plastic c-r-a-p.
Looks like a set of racing tires with tremendous detail.

Andrew show us a pic of your side-stay drink holders.

The Prindle is equipped with port holes, so I keep drinks in both sides in cat bags.
