@Sail Life, Hey Mads! Wouldn’t it be an idea to attach the nav station monitor to a swing out support? So in case you want to watch some tv, ore cooking program. 😉 You can swing that monitor around. And thus you can lower that wall dividing the Nav station to the Galley. And have the view from the saloon.
I agree about a swinging mount... couple things to add... my tv mount will move in ruff seas so I have to tie down the tv before passage, no big deal, but if you can find a locking mount that would be better. You are building a "nav station" try to think of the placement of all the do dads that go with it. maybe lay them out on a sketch first.... chartplotter,ais,sat phone, battery meter, eprib, hand held vhf, vhf, etc...
@@BobGubbins epirb should be out in the cockpit with a good view of the sky. It is doing self-checks periodically and the more crap it needs to see through to view the sky the harder it is on the batteries. Should it ever become necessary to depliy it should be out there and handy, and have all the battery left as conceivably possible.
@@svbarryduckworth628 After reading your comment I reread my manual my eprib is mounted as per the manual. I have been on many boats and I don't recall ever seeing one mounted in the cockpit. self testing isn't automatic. I can only speak for my eprib, if others have questions be sure to read your manual. Step 1: Determine a suitable mounting location Locate the beacon in a readily accessible location that is protected from outside influences. The location selected must be sufficiently rigid to support the weight of the total installation. Hazards to avoid when selecting a mounting location: - Vibration - Exposure to the elements, especially sun - Possibility of impact from hatches, gear or personnel - Harmful vapors - Exhaust - Harsh chemicals (i.e. paint removers) - Locations that can be obscured by foreign articles on a temporary or permanent basis. 4. Self-Testing the beacon The beacon may be self-tested as is warranted, once a month or up to a recommended maximum of 120 times in the 10year life of the battery. The self-test can be performed inside or outside a building or vessel. The self-test is initiated by pressing the self-test button for one (1) second until a brief green LED flashes and then releasing the button. Do not press the button for longer than 4 seconds or the extended GPS test will start. During self-test, a 406 MHz self-test message and 121.5 MHz signal are transmitted from the beacon. The self-test also checks battery capacity, beacon memory, GPS functionality and the circuit board. A long green LED flash and a long beep indicate a successful test. The strobe light will flash at the end of self-test and the self-test will be complete at that point. Note that if any of the individual tests fail during self-test, there will be a long red LED flash and four (4) beeps
Thank you so much :) Typing this in nice sunny warm Barbados having just completed the Atlantic crossing I'm a little afraid to admit I'm excited to get back to some good old DIY :)
Great video I just wish you could make 30 minute videos. Just as these get interesting it goes off. 30 minutes for a7 day period doesn’t seem to be asking to much. I’ve been watching you for years and your videos are very entertaining and educational. Thanks 👍👍
Thanks for your courage in showing the mistakes and challenges you needed to overcome while refitting your boat, Mads. You're a genuine breath of fresh air in the TH-cam community!
We did the fall haul-out of boats at our sailing club. It requires several cranes and a lot of volunteers. Sail Life came up in conversation over the course of the day. Everyone knew about you! You get very high praise from the old salts and newbies alike!
Madds, as a cyclops (I lost my eye 5 years ago) I cringe every time you use a power tool without safety glasses. If you lose one, you will really miss it.
As you’re prone to seasickness you may want to give your nav station a little portlight to see the horizon, that really helps. Plus it brings daylight to your office.
It will all work it'self out, just disorientate Capt Dum Dum with a sharp jolt of electricity (nine volt battery on the tongue works well for me) and it don't leave any marks or scars and side effects are little besides an odd taste for a few seconds. Good to see you back Mads. Continued good refitting and wishes for continued warm weather !!
I stumbled onto your channel, and have been bingeing the refit videos for several days now. I enjoy your approach. I do love "Boat Work". Thank you, I look forward to watching the completion of the Athena refit.
Welcome back, hope you had a great time in LA. I wonder if you could fabricated a third meter wide insulation blanket out of what ever scrap foam, down, old blanket etc to strap on the outside of the hull that would allow you to warm up just the area you need to tab. Use some heat lamps or forced hot air on the inside. Surface condensation in the bond area is the largest risk at any temp.
If you get desperate for tabbing over winter, perhaps you could use your silicone heating mat on the outside and figure out another way to warm the resin and hardener?
Its coming along well. I'm always happy to see your videos pop up. For your nav station. Im thinkingn leave that top corner open and put a large screen on an articulating arm. Then you can flip it around and make it double as a screen for the saloon.
Just an idea for you.....place your heating pad on the outside of the hull with some insulation to warm the hull and continue tabbing inside during colder weather.
Induction cooktop and a microwave convection oven will pull a fair few amps when working together! Going to need a reasonable sized generator to provide that much juice.
Hi Mads, 66cm for the shower sounds a little too much for me. I suggest you check if you can reduce it. 60cm sounds OK. This would give an extra 6 cm for the head and sink counter-top space.
Could you not have the nav-station monitor mounted on a swing arm that can be folded back against the hull when not in use? This would eliminate the need for the backing panel and open up the space. Love your channel!
This is definitely the solution, I was just about to write this comment. You could even have a dual monitor solution with a swing arm set up if you wanted to make it a video editing and computer workstation in addition to just being a nav station.
Martin and Mads, remember that it’s right next to the galley. Food mess on one side and electronics on the other may not be too compatible. To make it feel more open though, one could add a thick glass panel to the top of the bulkhead. A lot of newer boats are doing that now. I did it in my Pearson 33-2 to help separate the galley from the settee. I’ll send you a photo if you like.
Would it swing around in high seeas?Good thing you could push it out into the galley if you want monitor to be farther off or closer so....flexibility.
Hey Mads, ther is an easier way to transfer curves to your plywood. I built two campervan using tis technique. You use a compass and start at the widest gap, then run it along you surface and you got yourself a perfect copy of the curve. Make sure to keep the compas perpendicular to the edge of you plywood, and vertical. Or horizontal if you are transfering a vertical curve. Does it make sense ? I can detail a bit more if needed.
Here's a tip...When it gets too cold to lay up glass...use halogen lights directed at items to provide a source of heat sufficient to warm areas needing tabbing etc. As a fellow Northerner with a short summer season I've used it outside even with snow on the ground. Since the lights only warm solid items and not the air there is a significant saving in time and energy in using this method. Note: A rule of thumb when deciding how far to place the lamp. Half the distance from item to be glass'd will quadruple the temperature of the item. I use a laser type IR thermometer to establish the material temperature before, during and after the glass is laid. Let me know if it works for you.
I can't do this before I do that, but can't do that till I do this other thing. Been there! Give some consideration to the swing arm idea below, sounds like a more flexible plan and can share the nav desk and kitchen counter? I feel like a back seat driver, sorry.
I would make sure and put a hand hold on the top corner by the vertical. This will help getting in and out of the nav station as well as an extra hand hold for the galley. Of course round it to match all your other glorious curves.
Nice work Mads, the cabinets are really well built and will add to the structural integrity of the hull. I know you have a design layout you refer to, but l can also see it's a build as you go type of project and it's looking great.
Looking good, glad to see you made it back safely and not on fire (Cali joke). For the nav station I would take the ply wood all the way to the top of the lower ceiling, then put a radius'd 45 like you did for the seat and head. Doing this would let you have room for a shelve on the nav station side above the monitor, but not make the nav station a dark cave, it also ties the wall into the reset of the rooms look. If needed I could cad it up to show what I'm talking about.
Instead of filling in the nav station bulkhead, have you though of maybe just having the tabletop part protrude and having less bulkhead come out from the hull? That will open up the area without compromising the nav station space. Plus you could the. Put the monitor on an articulated arm, allowing you to fold it into the corner when not in use, and folding it completely out toward the settee to watch movies. With limited space it always good to find way of multi purposing your spaces. Just a thought!
You have a box mads, The old fuel tank sitting in the corner collecting cobwebs, Stainless steel too, See if you could get a cooker to fit inside it would save a lot of money and a few welds here and there and bodge is your uncle.
Amazing progress after super air miles . Thanks for the effort. Decisions upcoming will not be easy....take a deep breath. Very much enjoy your channel!
I have been with you from the beginning. I think that was a great video. The sense of urgency due to the onset of winter is soooo part of my life as a Canadian! I am super jealous of the new nav station. Keep up the great work. Shane
Leave that second piece of plywood bulkhead at the height is it. Mount your screen on top of it with a 180 degree swivel. Then it can swivel around towards the rest of the cabin and be used as an entertainment monitor as well. (added benefit is that the nav station is less cavelike)
My boats nav station is torn down and damaged. I was thinking of was to fix it while not making it look shotty. You made your nav station look so easy that I believe I will do the same and just rebuild mine. I am thinking that perhaps and slight curvature in the seat would be a nice touch too.
Make the bulkhead that separate the nav station from the galley shorter, only about 25mm above the desk top. Mount the monitor(s) on a swing arm at your desired height. If the swing arm pivots/rotates from the cabin ceiling, the monitor(s) can be swung around so that their back is against the hull and you can see them from the settee. Of course this means all controls need to be mounted low on that 25 mm back above the desk.
It's great to see you back at it. I hope you buy the galley stove and oven before you take measurements because it would really suck to design everything and build it only to find out later you can't get them any longer and the replacements won't fit.
Du er en stor inspiration, for os båd entutiaster. You are a great inspiration to us boat enthusiasts. Thank you for your features, part of a project you are working on. I own a boat in Frederiksvær, which I have been working on for 2 years. It is also rather newnow. Looking forward to following the rest of the project. God arbejdslyst..
thanks for the video as always . may i suggest getting a compass or a pair of deviders to do your scribing with ,,just set them to slightly wider than your largest gap and simply trace the hull and scribe it exactly to the plywood no measuring required or to misread .
I have no idea why, but I really enjoyed this one. I enjoy all your vids just so you know :) perhaps its the randomness from the jet lag... keep up the good work.
Love your skill level, fun to know I am not the only one to obsess details. I am beginning to wonder about the need for a nav station goven portability of nav electronics.
Great video as always! I definitely recommend checking out GN Espace for your cooktop conundrum. They make a gimbaled frame designed to accept a range of hobs and oven/microwaves from Miele. I am a big fan of induction cooktops on sailboats as it’s easier to get diesel to generate electricity than propane in many places. Just consider a backup plan in case of cooktop failure... keep up the excellent work!
I am sorry for adding a suggestion for the shower so late in the process but have you considered a bench seat in the shower taking some space away from the equipment room. I suspect it will complicate your equipment room's enterance but improve showering and safety during rough seas .
You might consider to give yourself more legroom at the navstation. When you live onboard the navstation is maybe also used as workstation and being able to stretch your legs a bit is good for the knees :-)
Make that bulkhead between the nav station and the galley over-sized, and cut it back later (in situ) once you've bought the cooker and made your gimballed arrangement.
Maybe that can shift to the left (towards the haul) so you can have it on a 45° angle with a chart in front of you and you can look up to see Ave when she's in the galley etc. Then be able to pull up t out straight in front of you or even swivel facing the galley etc... Don't know just spitballing ideas.
If you use a smart TV with HDMI you can make it multi function not just a monitor. Be sure to get the audio linked to your Radio/sound system for film/date night 😉
I'm not sure a swivel arm is such a good idea on a moving/rocking boat. I think I'd want a dedicated, fixed, monitor for the nav station - and worry about the entertainment system as a secondary item.
Madds I am enjoying your videos of Athena. However, I have a question. I must have missed your answer on why you did not use the propane stove and decided on an electric setup. Do you mind mentioning it again.
You should consider a dual use space. I would consider using the toilet area as a nave space area. Somehow with good planning you can do it. The shower area is rather small, move the toilet out and put it under the nove space, and make that nave space enclosed.
I can’t believe the issues with the epoxy curing :-) I am in QLD and use slow harder, and ATM almost impossible to use west system unless it’s early morning or night.
I wouldn't be dogmatic about having the monitor straight in line with the axis of the boat in front of your eyes. Looking a bit aside is no problem. This allows to lower the rest of the bulkhead below eye level: much less caved in feeling, much more in contact with the rest of the crew or whatever.
Airgead I would drop the bulkhead completely, as I think others have suggested, and use an articulating arm for the monitor. This opens the space and eliminates the “cave” feeling and gives you a monitor facing flat against the hull while under sail that can be articulated toward the nav station, toward the companion way, or toward the saloon. It then maximizes the size of the nav station table storage.
Splurge and get a curved screen for the NAV station. The more curve you can get, the better. Heck, were it me, i'd get that paper type screen that you can bend whichever way you want and make a curved screen into the "wall". Maps generally don't need color.
BOOYAH TO YOUR YO MAMA lmao.... You my friend, have spent too much time over the pond. Welcome back Mads. Glad you got back in one piece and are working again.
I’d suggest you stick to standard dimensions of a two or three burner gimballed Force 10 stove and then as you figure out your convection microwave options adapt into the available space. That seems to have worked for the vloggers mentioned already (Delos and Follow the Boat) and check our Sailing Uma who created a creative option as well. Love your vlog and plan as you go approach. Is it really ‘planning one step at a time’ or beyond the master layout is there more advanced planning then is evident from the weekly videos? Regardless, love the progress. Can actually anticipate launch in a year to 18 months. Fair winds.
coming back in time.. Mads, why didn't you use the epoxy resin empty container for your rounded radius edge? then it truly would have become part of your boat :P
Hello Mads, love your weekly videos. I was wondering didn't you have a gimbal stove in your galley? A electric one isn't much bigger. Can't you get the measurements from there?
Sometimes, you crack me up. When you said, "BOOYAH TO YOUR MAMA", I just had to laugh. I was sure you were going to say, "BOOYAH TO YOUR FEMALE PARENTING UNIT", lol! Also, it appears as though Captain DumbDumb is due for a promotion!! How does "Major DumbDumb" grab ya? ;-) Welcome back. Or, Sorry you had to come back. Which ever is the case!! Hahaha Say hey to your lady friend from us!!
Didn't you already buy a stove at some point to be used in the boat? I totally understand the desire to go for induction though. But don't you need massive batteries for it?
Mads, I think you did extremely well considering the jet-lag. I don't trust myself with a can opener when I fly back from the states - let alone a yacht rebuild.
Monitor swivel maybe that can shift to the left (towards the haul) so you can have it on a 45° angle with a chart/notebook/ puzzle in front of you and you can look up to see Ave when she's in the galley etc. Then be able to pull up t out straight in front of you or even swivel facing the galley etc... Don't know just spitballing ideas. I think it would looks dm feel more open for sure.
Hey Mads, I wonder about the new power management. Induktion for cooking? You don't plan to be at sea for more than one day? With shore power a great way to cook (well...most places have 6Amps for you =1450W) but in the harbour you don't need the moving option of the stove. Or is the generator running, when you cook? Alot of fuel for the bacon and neigbours at anker will love you. If Propan is not an option for Eva, I would concider ethanol (but in some places of the world customs don't get it, that you don't want to drink that stuff.) Kerosin.....not really. I'm sure, you will present a perfect answer for that! Love your videos and your way to work and learned some new things from you. Mange Tak
Just was wondering instead of extending the nav bulk head out that far why not split counter top between the nav and the galley. This would make an L shape galley still have same space for nav. You could add the curves and have mlre of an open space feel.
“BOO-YA to your Momma” neeeeds to be your next T-shirt design!!!!

"Booya, to yo Mama" LOL Nice work mate!
Another great video. Your expertise in curving plywood should be the basis of yacht manufacturers’ quality control. Thanks for the inspiration.
If you are determined to go the no propane route, then look at those Wallas diesel stoves from Finland. They gimbal and have pot restraints too!
Welcome back, hope you had a great time in LA. I wonder if you could fabricated a third meter wide insulation blanket out of what ever scrap foam, down, old blanket etc to strap on the outside of the hull that would allow you to warm up just the area you need to tab.

Sunday just isnt Sunday without a visit from good ole Madds!!
If you get desperate for tabbing over winter, perhaps you could use your silicone heating mat on the outside and figure out another way to warm the resin and hardener?
Remember to take the depth of the monitor and the mounting brackets into account.
Love you and the details, figuring on your experience is it’s first journey! Then it is getting along with your first mate! Journey on!

Here's a tip...When it gets too cold to lay up glass...use halogen lights directed at items to provide a source of heat sufficient to warm areas needing tabbing etc. As a fellow Northerner with a short summer season I've used it outside even with snow on the ground. Since the lights only warm solid items and not the air there is a significant saving in time and energy in using this method. Note: A rule of thumb when deciding how far to place the lamp. Half the distance from item to be glass'd will quadruple the temperature of the item.

I would make sure and put a hand hold on the top corner by the vertical. This will help getting in and out of the nav station as well as an extra hand hold for the galley. Of course round it to match all your other glorious curves.

thanks for the video as always . may i suggest getting a compass or a pair of deviders to do your scribing with ,,just set them to slightly wider than your largest gap and simply trace the hull and scribe it exactly to the plywood no measuring required or to misread .
I have no idea why, but I really enjoyed this one. I enjoy all your vids just so you know :) perhaps its the randomness from the jet lag... keep up the good work.
So stove is also going to be binned as well, I'll personally would give it another try, but boat & choice is yours.
Love your skill level, fun to know I am not the only one to obsess details. I am beginning to wonder about the need for a nav station goven portability of nav electronics.
Great video as always! I definitely recommend checking out GN Espace for your cooktop conundrum. They make a gimbaled frame designed to accept a range of hobs and oven/microwaves from Miele. I am a big fan of induction cooktops on sailboats as it’s easier to get diesel to generate electricity than propane in many places. Just consider a backup plan in case of cooktop failure... keep up the excellent work!
I am sorry for adding a suggestion for the shower so late in the process but have you considered a bench seat in the shower taking some space away from the equipment room. I suspect it will complicate your equipment room's enterance but improve showering and safety during rough seas .
Mad skills you got there. Very nice work on those bends. They look oh so good.
Nav station. How about facing the bulkhead and have a stool or chair to slide under desk out of the way. It will free up more space for kitchen
You might consider to give yourself more legroom at the navstation. When you live onboard the navstation is maybe also used as workstation and being able to stretch your legs a bit is good for the knees :-)
I look forward to watching these videos. I’m impressed by the quality of your work.
Make that bulkhead between the nav station and the galley over-sized, and cut it back later (in situ) once you've bought the cooker and made your gimballed arrangement.
Always love your videos.
Make something that will swivel the monitor out to the outside so it can double as a TV for the lounge.
One of those articulated computer monitor arms would work. Then it could fold against the hull when not needed.
Maybe that can shift to the left (towards the haul) so you can have it on a 45° angle with a chart in front of you and you can look up to see Ave when she's in the galley etc. Then be able to pull up t out straight in front of you or even swivel facing the galley etc... Don't know just spitballing ideas.
If you use a smart TV with HDMI you can make it multi function not just a monitor. Be sure to get the audio linked to your Radio/sound system for film/date night 😉
Not having a big bulkhead would make the interiour roomier too! I hope he considers the swing arm
I'm not sure a swivel arm is such a good idea on a moving/rocking boat. I think I'd want a dedicated, fixed, monitor for the nav station - and worry about the entertainment system as a secondary item.
Welcome back!!!
Looking good!
Madds I am enjoying your videos of Athena. However, I have a question. I must have missed your answer on why you did not use the propane stove and decided on an electric setup. Do you mind mentioning it again.
You should consider a dual use space. I would consider using the toilet area as a nave space area. Somehow with good planning you can do it. The shower area is rather small, move the toilet out and put it under the nove space, and make that nave space enclosed.
I can’t believe the issues with the epoxy curing :-) I am in QLD and use slow harder, and ATM almost impossible to use west system unless it’s early morning or night.
I wouldn't be dogmatic about having the monitor straight in line with the axis of the boat in front of your eyes. Looking a bit aside is no problem. This allows to lower the rest of the bulkhead below eye level: much less caved in feeling, much more in contact with the rest of the crew or whatever.
Airgead I would drop the bulkhead completely, as I think others have suggested, and use an articulating arm for the monitor. This opens the space and eliminates the “cave” feeling and gives you a monitor facing flat against the hull while under sail that can be articulated toward the nav station, toward the companion way, or toward the saloon. It then maximizes the size of the nav station table storage.
Splurge and get a curved screen for the NAV station. The more curve you can get, the better. Heck, were it me, i'd get that paper type screen that you can bend whichever way you want and make a curved screen into the "wall". Maps generally don't need color.
Colour on marine charts is important.. it lets you easily see relative depths, rather than having to peer at the tiny numbers on the chart.
Really enjoyed
BOOYAH TO YOUR YO MAMA lmao.... You my friend, have spent too much time over the pond. Welcome back Mads. Glad you got back in one piece and are working again.
I’d suggest you stick to standard dimensions of a two or three burner gimballed Force 10 stove and then as you figure out your convection microwave options adapt into the available space. That seems to have worked for the vloggers mentioned already (Delos and Follow the Boat) and check our Sailing Uma who created a creative option as well.
Love your vlog and plan as you go approach. Is it really ‘planning one step at a time’ or beyond the master layout is there more advanced planning then is evident from the weekly videos? Regardless, love the progress. Can actually anticipate launch in a year to 18 months. Fair winds.
i love your great video's
coming back in time.. Mads, why didn't you use the epoxy resin empty container for your rounded radius edge? then it truly would have become part of your boat :P
Great great work! I'm taking notes for my project :-)
Hello Mads, love your weekly videos. I was wondering didn't you have a gimbal stove in your galley? A electric one isn't much bigger. Can't you get the measurements from there?
Sometimes, you crack me up. When you said, "BOOYAH TO YOUR MAMA", I just had to laugh. I was sure you were going to say, "BOOYAH TO YOUR FEMALE PARENTING UNIT", lol!
Also, it appears as though Captain DumbDumb is due for a promotion!! How does "Major DumbDumb" grab ya? ;-)
Welcome back. Or, Sorry you had to come back. Which ever is the case!! Hahaha Say hey to your lady friend from us!!
Balls-up already has that rank.
commodore dumbdumb. after all he has two boats.
roadkill5333 that would probably be Lieutenant Commander Dumbdumb.
@@jimporter Major Catastrophe?
Good to see you working again! Love the videos!
How about curving your nav table seat on the Y axis? Would make working while the boat is heeled a lot more comfortable.
Didn't you already buy a stove at some point to be used in the boat? I totally understand the desire to go for induction though. But don't you need massive batteries for it?
Use an adjustable monitor mount to open up your nav station!
Mads, I think you did extremely well considering the jet-lag. I don't trust myself with a can opener when I fly back from the states - let alone a yacht rebuild.
Why not put your silicone heating blanket the outside of the hull to allow tabbing in cool weather?
Because it's already in use keeping the epoxy warm, or hadn't you noticed?
Hey Mads, Could you save some space in you head by putting the toilet under the counter like S/V Bask did?
I was going to suggest the Same as Andrew Baumgartner... he beat me by about 30 seconds! As usual a great vid!
Monitor swivel maybe that can shift to the left (towards the haul) so you can have it on a 45° angle with a chart/notebook/ puzzle in front of you and you can look up to see Ave when she's in the galley etc. Then be able to pull up t out straight in front of you or even swivel facing the galley etc... Don't know just spitballing ideas. I think it would looks dm feel more open for sure.
any chance of adding a open/closing portlight to the mancave? would be nice in the summer when u have to get work in and u want a cold breeze.
Great video.
Hey Mads, I wonder about the new power management. Induktion for cooking? You don't plan to be at sea for more than one day? With shore power a great way to cook (well...most places have 6Amps for you =1450W) but in the harbour you don't need the moving option of the stove. Or is the generator running, when you cook? Alot of fuel for the bacon and neigbours at anker will love you. If Propan is not an option for Eva, I would concider ethanol (but in some places of the world customs don't get it, that you don't want to drink that stuff.) Kerosin.....not really. I'm sure, you will present a perfect answer for that! Love your videos and your way to work and learned some new things from you. Mange Tak
Just was wondering instead of extending the nav bulk head out that far why not split counter top between the nav and the galley. This would make an L shape galley still have same space for nav. You could add the curves and have mlre of an open space feel.
