    This has to be one of the best executed boat tours I've ever watched. The reference to the floor plan when you talk about what remodeling you did, along with back and forth between before and after, gives a crystal clear picture of what your boat looks like inside both when you bought it and after the work. Well done!

    • @johnwolf2829

      A lot of hours went into these 35 minutes, and it shows.
      And the boat itself is brilliant. The wood stove made me blink, but they could go on a grand tour of Norway if they wanted to now.
      I'll have to check out the deck vid now.

      Totally. I've watched a lot of boat tours (and house or farm tours) and I find it so frustrating because I can't orient myself and I want to know where something is in relation to something else. The floor plan is so helpful. I also really appreciate the regular back and forth between the before and after, and sometimes the before, between, and after photos.
      You obviously put a lot of thought into creating your home and I appreciate how much thought you also put into creating this video and the time it must have taken to search for the exact footage you wanted to use.

    • @stephanieellis5399

      @@2potornot2pot the pot filler is the best idea for a small space, isn't it? A faucet actually takes up so much room when you think about it and because it's mounted on the wall you can get a much larger sink into that space. The ability to fold it away and also the reach it has makes it a brilliant solution. And yes, if I'm ever in a position where I'm renovating a small space I will also be implementing this idea.

    TH-cam recommended this video to me. At first glance of the thumbnail, I thought, Oh these people have no clue why the things are laid out inside a sailboat. Everything needs to have multipurpose functions. Pretty things don't make sailing easier when you are in a big storm. Nobody has been able to improve on these interiors for decades. I have to watch this video to see the train wreck. Then while watching, my jaw dropped to the floor in disbelieve. I can clearly tell you have offshore experience and know what would work and doesn't. You found a way to improve a sailing 'yacht' interior to not only function better but also aesthetically look better. If I ever buy a similar sailing yacht like your's, I plan to implement the same changes you did. I'm also a photographer and I like your ideas of where to store your gear. Thanks for sharing your works.

      And to think neither had ANY prior sailing experience when they bought the “fixer upper” sailboat (for 3k!?)... though they have been at it for a few years now, it would appear... necessity’s the mother of invention, and they’ve certainly got an eye for aesthetics... great vid, inspirational even!

      It's the exact same reaction I had my friend. I was pondering why tear things apart to just re-do it but they have re-engineered wall to wall in an ingenious way that makes every other video fall short. So awesome to know that "there's always a way'!

    11:46 is a simple fix, simply install two wooden blocks on the bottom of the cutting board, one on each end, that will lock in the lazy susan when the cutting board is in it's closed position. I'm still impressed you guys came up with that lazy susan idea entirely, that's next level problem solving.

    She's beautiful guy's. It's amazing as long as you purchase a solid vessel, you can make her your own. Cosmetics are just time consuming and fun, but not fun sometimes lol. I bought a 1985 22 ft Sea-Ray, 20 yrs ago. I still have her today. Because of all the work I've done, and enjoy her, there's no reason to upgrade. She came with a small cuddy cabin, a sink, and even a head. I've slowly re-done everything year by year. Installed an outside shower, and many other thing's made my own. And of course all my electronics, emergency gear, and all I need to stay safe. She's good for me to do 7 day trips, or longer, with friends, family or just me. Stay safe can't wait to watch all the vids. 🙏 😎 ⛵

    Woohoo!!!
    I think one of the biggest advantages you had in designing this layout is not being set in how boats have always been laid out! By not being constrained in the ways things have always been done on sailboat layouts it opened up so many cool possibilities! I lived aboard a 29' Bristol for 6 years- so many of your innovations would have greatly improved my limited space!
    My hats off to the both of you- love the practical, beautiful layout and the ingenious use of space!!! Super functional, well thought-out and still beautiful!

I'm sure if my wife would have been my wife at that time, it might have made or broken us! Yes, this couple most definitely seem to be enjoying their journey, not enduring it.

      um ... no ...
      living on a boat compares to a van, not so much a bicycle or motorcycle
      and no, a tandem bicycle wont neccessarily get there faster, at all, sheesh, you have got to be kidding
      everyone should have their own cycle
      but vans can be shared
      same diff for clothing,
      two ppl can each wear shorts n a tshirt, without both wearing one pair of fourlegged pants
      but, now that i think about it, i suppose two rich ppl could each have a big sailboat, and sail alongside eachother, around the world, i suppose.

    For the fruit hammock issue, I’d sew a piece of stretchy material to the back top of the hammock, and when you set sail just pull that stretchy “lid” over the fruit/veg and either tie down or maybe clamp/Velcro down to the front of the hammock. Problem solved. Or you could just tie a string to the middle of the front and run it straight up to an attachment above it under the cabinets & tie it off, hoisting the front high enough that the fruit won’t go spilling over. This boat interior looks like it was designed in the finest of Italian studios, working hand in hand with practical engineers with tons of boating knowledge. What an amazing job you two. Can’t get over how well done this is!

    My biggest reason for alcohol over propane is safety.
    No matter what, if there is a stove fire, you can put it out with the water on hand.
    I know this from experience. We had a fuel line rupture while cooking at sea - the alcohol leaked and fire spread - the Captain grabbed the pot of water we were boiling for a spaghetti dinner and dumped it on the flames. End f crisis.
    On land, while RVing we used alcohol stoves, that way we did not have to worry about tunnels and bridges which do not allow hazardous/pressurized fuels and, therefore did not have to go around the long way.
    While hiking, alcohol has been a favorite because it is available just about everywhere and operates even in the dark or after multiple cloudy days in a row!
    P.S. Love your home-boat!

    • @Daviddickson
      @Daviddickson 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The trouble I have with alcohol is the colorless invisible flame when burning. We lent ours to a neighbour to use on their 56 foot Schooner decades ago and they almost burned the ship down. It overflowed and he lit it without knowing the alcohol ran down the side. His quik thinking wife grabbed the stove, raced up the companionway, and threw our brand new stove overboard.
      Alcohol has never been aboard any of our boats again, except for drinking.
      Propane is scary, but when properly installed with auto shutoff sensors is totally safe.

      As for tossing it overboard - quick thinking indeed! Ours was attached [double gimbals] so it remained onboard.

    What a well thought out and beautifully executed little sailing vessel with some very innovative design features using materials that most can easily afford. My hats off to you two youngsters for knowing what you want out of life and going for it. You may not realize it but I honestly think you could make a very good living doing boat renovations and designs for pay. It would require sacrifice of time you could spend much more enjoyably taking advantage of what you've already accomplished. However should the need for cash ever arise I could see your services being highly prized and the both of you being very well compensated for your time. You now both have the sailing experience and direct knowledge of what it takes to not only bring an old boat back from the grave basically but to a whole other level via an affordable refit and quite arguably better than new condition. Thank you for sharing your home and ideas with us I learned so much from this. Sorry to say I will definitely be borrowing some of your ideas should I decide to by an older yacht and refit it myself. The Heavy Susan and basically the whole Galley setup, using inexpensive shop floor mats as insulation, just so many really good ideas. So again thank you, may you have nothing but fair winds and safe travels, God Bless...
