dude, that fireplace you've got is one of the coolest little features I have seen in a boat cabin!
haha, yes it is pretty awesome! I love it!
That's one of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen on a boat. The plants, the cushion colours, the fireplace! Very cozy and atmospheric. Well done!
Thank you! It has been fun to make this little space my home, which has meant making it a combination of being both 'functional & comfortable'. Glad you enjoyed the tour. :)
Such a clean tidy boat. Well done.
Nice video. Very cozy little setup you've got there, nicely appointed.
Thank you and it sure is a cozy liveable space. :)
Love your boat!! Love the cozy fireplace
Thank you. :)
For those of us that have dreams of getting more out on the water, i thank you for making this video. It's ones like these that really help fill in the gaps of information and help get a feel for what it's like. Thank you!
You are more than welcome and really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great Video and nice accommodations!
this video has impressed the pants off of me :) just bought a similar sized boat. after rust removal and engine TLC you have given me some awesome ideas to make a boat a home. thanks!
I've watched several videos about living aboard, this one is the most informative.
Thank you! I am really glad to hear that you found this video informative! I hope you will have time to watch some of my cruising and project videos too! :)
Agreed. Excellent video. Thank you taking the time.
What an incredible hour I just spent aboard! Thank you so much for the tour, the professionalism of the filming and your dry humor. The very best to you, Alfy
warm collors, love it
I've had a dream to live aboard and sail for 40 years. I live inland and traded that dream for 3 great kids, several house renovations and even a small horse/hobby farm for 10 years. At this point in life (68), I have a 22' Catalina on a trailer in the back yard, where it has suffered from my neglect and, finally, a big tree fall. Your video rekindles those old dreams and hopefully some action as well!
What a beautiful and well thought out boat (and life?) you have!!
Well done
As I think about it, maybe the tree damage is God's "nudge". Lots to repair, but easy access to tools & materials. Good beginner project!Now, where did I leave that ambition??
Sounds like you had a great path in life and now you might have time to work on the Catalina and start a new path! So glad you enjoyed the tour! Alfy
What a beautiful, inviting, warm atmosphere you've created...and plants, too! Job, exceedingly well done!
Been following this channel for some time now.. conclusion is that the world needs more alfy's!! Period! Happy new year. And thx for the time and effort..
Thanks so much! I don't think I have ever heard anyone say that before so I am very humbled by your comment! :) Happy New Year and Fair Winds in 2017!
Very nice. The care you gave this ship during her renovation really shines through during your tour. Very nice.
This reminds me of a cartoon I seen as a child. A small tent in the desert from the outside that looked like the Taj Mahal from the inside.
Thank you and I'm very happy to see another squared away sailor! Very neat and clean. Your pride of place shows well.
You are welcome and thank you for your nice comments! Fair Winds in 2017!
Life is Like Sailing what is the reasoning for red lights? Im sorry if i missed it in the video.
Thank-you for the yearend boat tour Alfy, and you gave me a lot of ideas that I may use when I get my boat. May this coming year be full of blessings for you, and yours.
Thank you and I am glad that the video gave you some ideas to use! Happy New Year and Fair Winds in 2017!
Well done. Excellent and you should be proud of your work!
If you put a cold air intake from the floor for the heater you won't need a fan it will circulate by itself and take the cool air off of the floor ! While push warm air down ! It will also dehumidify without using power .
Very nice boat !
I used to work at a port deck hand on the mooring tender ! Seen a few boats !
I watch this video over and over again. I think its because I enjoy the ingenuity of the layout, and....the warmth of the home. Practical solutions and it is warm and cozy...like a home should be. Great job on outfitting and videoing, Life is Like Sailing!
So glad you enjoyed the tour, the layout and how I have made it 'home'. :)
Hi. i just spent a fantastic half hr watching this video. Yr such a nice guy. I love yr boat home. It's realie beautiful and so homely. I'll look up more of yr stuff. Thanks for that.
I like the layout of your boat. It makes sense and gets the most out of your space.. Looks good.
Thank you! Yes this layout is very simple, but very practical! :)
Love what you are doing with your space!
Thank you. :)
Very well done captain, thank you and fair wind !
Thank you and you are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Fair winds from Canada's West Coast.
Full enclosures are great. We couldn't imagine not having ours. I have talked to some people who had ice boxes. Doesn't seem very fun. Very well set up and nice boat.
That fire looks so inviting. Thanks for the tour of your cozy boat and the great information.
You are welcome and I am glad you enjoyed the tour! Yes the fireplace sure is cozy! :)
Really nice video thanks for uploading! As a tip for improving your fireplace:
I guess the fan inside the stove actually needs energy? If you want to conserve some energy you could just put a small Heat powered fan on top of the stove. They are pretty cheap and very effective while using no power at all. :-)
+Scitch87 Saw those on narrowboats in Britain.
Life is Like Sailing hello, I have been living on my present boat for 3 1/2 years. I really enjoyed your video, it has made me think about doing something similar. Stay safe fellow sailor.
Great interior fire. My boat is 27 foot do it upper 1970 era so hope to blue water in 2020
oh, absolutely beautiful...and charming
Thank you so much!
Wow! The boat looks great!
Thanks for the tour Alfy...... see why you and Mads get on so well! It's been marvelous to be able to follow along with your journeys, and I personally thank you for show the west coast sailing area which in my humble opinion is one of the greatest in the northern hemisphere! We look forward to you show us some sailing up in the Rupert area this coming year. Wishing a stellar year for you and the family, keep 'em coming, Jack. ⛵⛵⛵
Thank you Jack! I am really glad to hear you have enjoyed following along with my cruising videos! I sometimes wonder if the viewers enjoy them as they seem to always have fewer views, comments and thumbs up when compared to the project and liveaboard type videos. I agree that I am in an amazing cruising area and I hope to show more of this amazing area to everyone. Happy New Year and Fair Winds in 2017!
Such a nice boat! And well taken care of it seems!
Thank you! It has been a great home and I enjoy always trying to make it a better home. :)
Thank you so much for your videos. I have dreamed of sailing and live-aboard a sailboat. You journey gives me courage to pursue mine. Thank you! DL, Long Beach, California, USA
You are welcome and I really hope you find a sailboat to live on soon!! :)
What a beautiful vessel! Superb job on the upgrades and thank you for the tour! Absolutely splendid mate!
Thank you!
A neat package, well done.
Thank you for sharing you lovely home. I think this is one of the best interior reviews I've yet seen, and one of the most comfortable looking. Inspiring stuff for those of us seeking this path. Thanks again.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed the tour!
Love your videos! Detailed and relaxed manor makes it a great watch. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate comments like yours and I hope you will enjoy some of the other episodes! :) Alfy & Devlin
What a great boat. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for another year's worth of videos, certainly one of our favourite channels.
You are more than welcome!! I am so glad to hear that you enjoy the channel!!! :)
Beautiful space. Thanks for sharing. I own a 30 cabin cruiser here in UK but boat interiors are universal. Lots of ideas for me. Fair winds.
Paul
Hello Paul, nice to hear from a fellow boater from the UK and glad you enjoyed the tour. :) Fair winds from Canada's West Coast.
Just found your vids, I love this, I thought I was tidy and practical on my boat but I am very impressed, makes me want to move up to this size and spend some glorious time messing around in my boat to get her to this standard of practical living. Fair winds my friend.
So glad you found the channel and enjoyed the tour! The 34 fr length has been great for living aboard for sure and I am
sure you would like the upsize. :) I hope you'll get a chance to check out some of my recent cruising videos too! Fair Winds. :)
Hi there. Great video, thanks for the information and detail. Very helpful for laying out my new boat. Lots of great tips. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this.
Happy anniversary, great video glad to see you again on the Tube, all the best from North Wales UK.
Thank you! Fair winds for 2017!!
Great video indeed! Love the boat and will watch more of your technical ones as I gear up for a life on a boat. Thanks for putting it out there!
You are welcome and so glad you enjoyed seeing my boat and other content! :)
Beautiful home.....
Adorable litte boat home. A home and a boat. Real nice.
Thank you! :)
what a beautiful job You have done, blessings..quite inspiring!!
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed the tour!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this virtual tour of your lovely boat and home. You have to be consistently neat and tidy on board a boat I know, but you have paid such beautiful attention to detail yet kept simplicity as well. Kind of reminds me of a military "everything squared away" sort of discipline. Well presented boat/home. I like the fact that you don't see the point in renewing things just for the sake of renewing them. The 'old world charm' of this vessel is in the woods and deep red colours used. Well done again.
Thank you so much for you comments about the condition of the boat and how I keep her. :) I have found that keeping things clean and organized really makes living aboard more enjoyable and to be honest, that is my personality anyways. haha I agree that it isn't always necessary to change things that don't need replacing! Glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks for watching!!
Very cool Boat tour ... love your setup
Awesome tour, awesome boat!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed the tour!
Awesome tour. Love what you have done to your home including all the infrastructure for which you will never be sorry. I just discovered you and will be happy to follow you.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed the tour! I hope you will enjoy many of the other videos I have created! :)
C&C is one of my favorite boat builders. Love the boat & great video !!!!!!!!!!!!
They make amazing boats! So glad you enjoyed this episode!
What a beautiful home. I hope to build something similar one day. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and good luck with building a similar home one day! :)
Thank you for sharing. Just waiting for sea trialing a 36" Mainship, lots to learn.
You are welcome and have fun and good luck with your new boat!
Outstanding video! Thank you for all the detail.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the tour!
Thank you Alfy! I found very much useful things from your videos.
I live in Norway and I'm just in getting my self 33ft sailing boat to live on and I'm glad, happy and lucky
that I can see another people with same interest and that I can get useful informations from videos.
Thank you and wish you all best 😃👍🏼
Alek
You are welcome and I am glad you have enjoyed the videos! It sounds like you have a great liveaboard adventure coming up soon!! All the best with that and fair winds to you!! :)
Looks great. What a beautiful boat you have!
Thank you!! :)
Great video mate, very thorough and professional.
Really enjoyed your tour...very informative. Well done. Cheers from Gary, Australia.
Very homey and Cosby boat. Great work.
Hah! I know exactly where your boat is!
i`ve stayed at the lighthouse and eaten at the breakers pub many times!
and i quite enjoy going down to the docks to try an spot jellies.
Thank you for doing such an in-depth showing, I'm looking at a Viking 33 which is similar to yours.
Glad it was helpful!
That was a lovely tour of your boat. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome and so glad you enjoyed the tour. :)
Hey Alfie, excellent job, flipped on to this as could not find active sailing channel that i like. Started to watch for a minute, watched till the end. to my surprise facsinating. You are a detail guy,I love what you have done and love your boat. she looks beautiful and comfortable. I love C&C, had a 24 for about 12 years . sailed all round the lower mainland and sechelt bowen , never made it to the gulf , a regret. Just after or perhaps the same time we purchased, my wife was pregnant. I know great planning on my part. I can still recall heeled over like crazy saying isn't this great dear. she did not agree. I think it was also diesel fumes. i think at the time it had a dickinson oil heater. it was strong small smell of diesel that made every thing worse. Long story short, removed the heater. sailed with babies in local waters for a number ofl years,-- Brent
Glad you found the channel Brent. :) I had a San Juan 24 many years ago so a very similar boat and I sailed it in the same area that you did. You must some great memories from those days. :)
It is easier to heat dry air than wet air, but wet air feels warmer. But obviously dry air is the goal on a boat, and I love your dehumidifiers.
Good job on this video, We have lived aboard our sailboat for over 30 years...time flies.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it! WOW, 30 years is impressive and yes tie sure does fly! Coming up to my 5 year anniversary now. ha
thank you for all the effort you put into your channel. I've learned so much from you and have been completely inspired by your lifestyle. in fact, my loan has been approved and myself and my partner will be moving aboard in a few weeks time once the sale goes through! thank you again for all the inspiration and the great content. Cheers, Rob.
You are welcome Rob! I am really glad you have gotten so much out of the channel! I hope that purchase works out and that you will both enjoy the liveaboard lifestyle as much as I have!!
She is a beaut'. Thank you for the tour.

Just found your channel. Impressive work you have done to your C&C. Looks very comfortable. Lots of helpful information. Look forward to watching your other videos of the upgrades. Last summer, I purchased a 76' Ranger 23. Since then, I've been giving it some needed upgrades. Overall, It's been fun project to work and sail on. I dream of upgrading to a live aboard some day... Really enjoyed watching. Thanks!
Happy New Year. May your future journeys always be safe and amazing.
