Great design! How about switching the sink and the fridge to opposite sides? To get a clean work area next to the nook. Also easier piping for the sink
Also no tap/faucet to accidentally grab onto... :)
great suggestion. C&C 35 style
Also gives them room for both fridge and freezer instead of just the one. The hole where they showed possible freezer location can be used for coffee maker on top. Still they idea of putting a cutting board to cover the sink even in that location makes 101% sense.
I'd be concerned about the Faucet and Drain that close to the Electric Engine - No leaks is always the plan but... electricity and water...
my sink back up to the "nook" and I frequently unintentionally spray the cushions in the nook. I would choose to flip the sink and counter space. Either way I am sure you guys will create an amazing space!😊
CAD.... cardboard assisted design :-)! Always great to see you two letting your inner architects out! Is there a particular reason you want the sink on nook side of the U shaped galley - wouldn't it be easier to put the fridge/freezer on that side and the sink on the side it was with the engine underneath (or are you worried about leaks onto the engine?) it would seem that that would give you enough space for the 2 draws for the freezer and you'd have a hard surface next to the nook and the plumbing is already there plus if you have splashes out of the sink they wouldn't go into the nook, you wouldn't need a foldable tap or boards to cover it.
I think the wall for the 'guest stateroom' should not be full height.
Leaving a gap above would make the overall space feel more open, and you could put a shelf above the 'stateroom' for quick access to PFDs and such.
The full-height foul-weather locker significantly reduces the open sightline space in the boat. I understand the objective- to create a guest space and keep the foul-weather gear close to the companionway, but... That's a pretty significant compromise for what percentage of time being used?
During their Norway exploration it was daily. Maybe a "transome" like window up on top that could be opened or closed to trap heat or allow air flowage would be better than storage.
I think you are right - it will be a compromise. If it is not at full height, it won't be a seperate space. If it is at full height, it tightens the space of the "living room". So maybe the top could be clear acryl or have a window next to the doorway. So guests can have a screen there, but on passage one can see each other.
It's exciting to have a front row seat for this redesign project. As a sailor with many ocean miles and a similar boat, it seems you're going in a very good direction -- but (of course)I do have some suggestions to consider for the design based on our experience. Our boat is an 1967 Ohlson 41. Her hull shape is similar to Uma, but a bit more overhang and a bit narrower for her length, so in general the usable shape and space is quite similar. Although the hull was designed by Ohlson, the interior was designed for the original owner by Alan Gurney, and he had some ideas which have stood the test of time. Other things, we've modified to suit a sailing couple. A couple of the original designs which we retain, and recommend:
1. Wet cubbies. Our boat was designed as what was common in its day - a race-cruiser, It could (and did) carry a crew of 6 on Bermuda races. Crew wet foulies were rolled up and placed in cubbies just inside of the companionway. There were originally 12 (6 each port and starboard), aft facing openings, each cubby opening about 8" square and each cubby about 20" deep. We removed the starboard set, and widened the quarter berth into a double, but retained the port ones. In 40 years and many ocean crossings we've never had a reason to question cubbies vs. hanging locker for foul weather gear, life vests, and harnesses. If the gear is dry...great. If it's wet, it isn't going to dry in a hanging locker, but it will get everybody else's gear wet. Foulies roll up very compactly and fit nicely in the cubby, and hanging lockers are horribly space hogs. Cubbies do, however, need to be facing fore or aft. We have a top-loading boot locker below the cubbies, and that works nicely as well.
2. Athwartships head. Our head extends entirely across the boat. It's enormous, of course, with the entire floor functioning as a shower pan, with a drainage channel on the aft edge. The walkway is off-center; on the port side is the sink and head (which has a strong SST grab bar alongside to starboard), with various lockers outboard, and on the other side is a hanging locker, small shelf, numerous storage cubbies, lockers, etc. The entire central section is used as a shower, and although you could have a curtain, we don't bother and haven't had any problem with errant spray on the furniture (which is all varnished mahogany). One generally showers with a "telephone" sprayer which is pretty easy to control. There are potential privacy issues when friends are aboard, but a bit of common courtesy (e.g. ask before entering) avoids embarrassment.
3. Corner posts in the Galley. This is such a silly no-brainer, yet it's almost never seen. Each inboard corner of the galley has a post extending from the counter corner to the overhead. When moving around below these are grabbed often enough to require re-varnishing on occasion - but they are incredibly handy for avoiding a fall during a "lurch". We tend to jump down our companionway, grab a post, and spin around it... and we're both now 75!
4. Full length grab rails: Our boat has a steel hull and wood deck, with deck beams. the deck beams project about an inch beyond the cabin sides, and a mahogany rail extends the entire length of the cabin attached to these beam extension. That particular approach wouldn't work, of course, on a fiberglass boat, but there are many similar approaches to creating a continuous grab rail both port and starboard. Like the posts in the galley, we rely on these...a lot. In particularly rough weather it seems like we move forward while hanging from these things like a jungle gym.
The aforementioned are a few of the 55 year old innovations we have never had reason to question. One other thing to mention, though, is your new quarter berth. Since it will now be extending much farther toward the centerline, and somewhat lower, you probably have room for a cozy double. When we removed the aforementioned cubbies we lowered and widened our starboard QB, and it served as our in-port double for a five year 30,000 mile cruise. We were younger, of course - and converted our forepeak to a garage, so we didn't have a lot of choice, but it worked fine.
I hope these comments may be helpful in thinking through the details of your design. I'd be happy to send along a picture or two if you'd let me know how to do so.
This looks awesome. I am so exited to watch it become reality. But one question: why not switch sink and counter side?
To me this has several advantages:
1. You can re-use your existing faucet.
2. You would probably have enough space for whatever fridge/freezer installation you would like (by the way, I would suggest drawers instead of a standing fridge/freezer).
3. You could design the perfect removable storage space under the sink and in front/on top of your electrical motor (removable of course for access to the motor).
4. You wouldn't need some fancy in-folding faucet (as it already folds to your wall) and covering the sink for more workspace becomes easy. Also there would not be come faucet somehow in the middle of the room on which someone could get hooked ore something.
5. Extending work space from the nook into the galley becomes even more convenient with the counter and potentially less dirty/wet with the wet stuff on the side most distant to the nook.
6. Placing drinks, cups, etc. inside the sink from within the cockpit and vice versa becomes really easy.
I am really curious what you're reasons would be to do it as you presented? Maybe I am missing something? Or maybe 3 does not allow for enough access space with the sink there!?
I would be thrilled if you would answer this here or maybe in the next video. 🙂
I wish you all the best and good progress in making your dream UMA become reality!
I am glad you listed out the same things I thought. I think the sink could fit nice in the corner, left of the stove. Having a counter space near the center of the boat is essential. Even in a large house, people always congregate around the kitchen counter island or peninsula.
I also agree. Our boat had a very similar layout to what they are designing. The sink was in the corner by the stove, which left counter space left of the sink around to the refrigerator and the counter for the peninsula. We only had a cooktop but there was room if I had wanted to replace it with a stove. I think anything that can make a mess (cooktop splatter, splash from the sink) should be away from any other part of the living area.
Your blend of design inventiveness and experience-based practicality continues to impress. Many "yacht designers", someof whom clearly have never been so sea, could benefit from your expertise.
That is absolutely fantastic. We are so excited for the Uma update! The VR was awesome even if it is rough draft.🎉
Yeah seeing that view from the vee berth was amazing. I could really see it coming together in a much more effective way than before (though I liked their old layout also). Just seeing that companionway from bed will be huge.
Not me. Uma was never a good ocean going boat. They should upgrade to a bigger and better boat. Just my opinion.
@@JohnDoe-jq1brI think you are missing the spirit of this channel. The do everything their own way, as affordably as possible. They used a forklift motor for their propeller ffs!
@@JohnDoe-jq1br While there are many that hold that opinion, it would seem the thousands of ocean miles Dan & Kiki have sailed her through truly awesome conditions may stand in contrast to that opinion. I for one am glad they are breathing new life into UMA despite the fact she is not what many would deem classically blue water pedigreed.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 They were on a shoe string budget back then. Now they make the big bucks. To try and play the broke college students again, is an insult to viewers. They can afford a refit on a real ocean going boat with some room on it. I loved watching them fix up their boat when they had 30,000 viewers. I'm going to guess that they are spending way less time on their boat than they try to make up believe. Nobody with their income would live in that little cave, that doesn't sail very well.
Got a little sea sick during the oculus parts, but it is super cool to be able to visualize the changes. The boat nerd in me wants part deux to hear about the structural improvements, portlight changes, tankage etc. I just love how you all just go for it and dream big in a little space. Finally I assume you all know about the Duracell project, Matt has been doing amazing fiberglass work, and his construction techniques are very clever but also doable. I have learned a boatload (sorry) from watching that design/build project. Obviously a much bigger platform than UMA, but still from the same ethos of throw-the book-out-and-dream. the build your own foam core fiberglass skinned panels may not be doable for you guys in your construction space, but would enable you to "easily" make the larger panels, so nicely modeled in carboard (a great tool BTW). Well done D&K!
Wonderful ideas. It will be such a change when it’s done. Have you considered putting the sink where the fridge would go, and putting the fridge where you have the sink? This would ease access to the motor, prevent water from sloshing forward, and give you a prep/bar area facing the settee area.
Hi guys, looks great. One thing. Have you considered the balance? I sailed a boat that always listed because the loading hadn’t been calculated. One tack was very different from the other..
I was thinking the same thing.
No mention of water tanks, holding tank and battery location. They will also be a major factor.
You guys pretty much have my boat's layout; 1979 Hunter Cherubini 37'. My boat did have a private pilot berth that is like what you want. However, I removed the partition and sliding door and opened everything up. I borrowed your nook idea and expanded the port settee all the way to the bilge cover. Love it!
Have you thought about flipping the sink and fridge in your design? It would give you a nice countertop towards the nook which you might be able to use while not using the galley. It as well leave you more space towards the electric motor.
You guys should do storage steps for the companionway for extra kitchen storage and/or quick grab items going in and out.
You can still have the steps lift up and out of the way by using heavy duty gas struts or hydraulic assist, or you can have it as a separate unit that can be disconnected from the wall, maybe on wheels or something, so that you're able to slide it out of the way and be able to access the engine compartment.
Obviously it's not a huge amount of storage but on a small boat, every space counts and that little bit of space under each step is just empty and wasted space, when you could use it for more storage and have the steps have dual purpose.
You could even use the ladder-like steps from your design but just make each step a little thicker and have the top of the steps open up like a lid/hatch. It would be pretty shallow stroage but still useful for maybe some tools, utensils, pens, papers, or even plastic wraps and foil.
Just some ideas to maybe think about! 😊
Oh we’ve got plans.
Great to see you guys building Uma the way you want her instead of just going out and buying a new boat.
And one that gets damaged in shipping like Billy & Sierra's. That was heartbreaking.
@@paulas_lens no kidding. Hate to see that. Also Ruby Rose is having some teething issues with some of their equipment.
@@paulas_lensTheir catamaran? I just watched some of the recent videos and I couldn't find what the damage was. Was it bad?
I'm sort of amazed. You've taken Uma down to the hull and totally re-designed a Pearson 34. How exciting. I'm agog to see it come together.
It’s going to be exciting watching cardboard become reality. I think you guys are off to a great start!
When prepping meals, it's much more comfortable, sociable, on bench space facing the living area (breakfast bar). A stainless steel sink bench for prep, with chopping board, convenient to wash as you go. Bin on the end handy for waste. Freezer box in corner, cooker on starboard wall, rangehood (also a night light) & dry racks above. Fridge & Pantry (with baskets) on stern wall.
V berth is uncomfortable, best spot imo for loo, under the chain locker, don't need headspace to sit, Dan can't miss if sitting, then shower one side, basin the other, slide door closes it off.
Sofa Bunk beds either side with privacy curtains (only certain times you, or guests, need to share a bed).
Uncomfortable to walk on, but lots of head space atm, for Dan anyway 😉
Interesting video with the virtual tour. A couple of thoughts:
-Have you considered some type of backsplash to keep the nook drier?
-I'm a little surprised that you went to the long work bench for production rather than keeping your breakfast bar/table design; I thought it was great. Where do you sit down inside to eat and look at each other?
Come on now, we just can’t give everything away… ;)
You will make a Japanese table???? @@SailingUma
I was thinking the same. Your round nav desk, breakfast table was awesome.
To get a nice dinning area you could make the middle part of the nook a convertible table. Or some part of the desk could slide out into the companionway to be a table where 2 can look at each other.
Nevertheless I liked the tour a lot! Good luck with that project!
Wow it's awesome, you're the most technologically advanced adventure/sailing channel! As and owner of Quest I will be looking forward for you guys to finish up VR project and make it available for the audience to do a VR tour of Uma.
I would flip the sink and frig locations.
You'll probably want a splash guard between the sink and the nook if that's where you want to place it. You could have a 10-20cm glass guard and LED underneath it.
But switching the sink and fridge might also be a consideration as you'll probably spend less time in front of the sink when cooking. You could also have a fridge with both front and top opening, so when you're on the "nook-side" you could still grab a beer.
A tiny splash guard could still be beneficial to keep stuff from falling down to the nook.
Nice design work. That is the 80% of the boat. The creation of the actual space. Nice job with design tools.
Looks like a really good layout. Well planned you two. Mind you the VR switching back and forth made me a touch dizzy...but then again I'm dizzy and daffy most of the time and don't need drugs or VRs to make me daffier or dizzier. Oh well back to my normal stumbling and bumbling around. GREAT job you two!!
Glad to see where you might be going with the new design. With your YT posting delay, you may now (IRL) already be much further along with the actual implementation than what is shown this video. Still, I would like to provide some feedback on what we are shown here...
1. What have you calculated for the new weight distribution? Given all the galley and other stores at the settee are starboard and it doesn't seem much counter weight is to port, my concern is the boat could list quite a lot to starboard. Can some heavier item such as the fridge or freezer be moved to port, perhaps to the lower half of your wet locker area?
2. Suggest leaving the sink on the rear wall under the current/old pot filler and move the new fridge to the settee side. This move would solve the faucet and fridge clearance issues you mention in the video, plus could be an improvement on the design.
3. If the wet locker door is built full length (floor to ceiling), possibly it could be built to slide back and act as a privacy door to your pilot/guest berth, instead of needing a curtain. We frequently see similar closet sliding door designs a lot in catamarans to close off owner hull sides from the upper salon area. Depends of course if you end up changing the design due to concern #1 above.
Cheers and good luck.
Don't buy a couch, build your own couch for your boat
Thank you! That's greate to look into new Uma being in old Uma!
You guys are going to make it epic. I think it goes to show how much life is still left in these older hulls. Awesome
I absolutely LOVE the design! You are very good at thinking things through. Just remember to put more that one foot rest under the work bench. One back and two forward is the goal really - Ive worked very. many. tidious. years at a PC/other, and the one thing you always miss is when the foot rest isn't there. Worked nights at our national numbers information and BOY did we use the foot rests! And that will make the knees hurt less, your back become less strained and you feel less "unmoved" when you get up.
I am posetiveily sure you will find a cool way to give you footrests. And note - I didns say you need backrest. You dont. Its for the knees and neck, really. Have fun! /Catta from Sweden
I liked the VR view of the model walkthrough. I had a boat where the hanging locker door doubled as the V-berth door and could latch closed. I kind of liked that it did two things
You were absolutely extremely creative in allowing us to be part of your design team. Loved it. Thanks from northern Michigan. Had to pull our boat today, getting ready for winter.
Nice!!! I've worked a bit with 3D architectural software, with walkthroughs and all, but what you've done is totally next level. I love the way you've incorporated the VR simulation to your model... So cool!!! I don't know how long (or how much effort) was put into converting your model into VR, but my gosh, well worth it! Great work, and a great episode.
Cheers Dan and Kika, well done.
I love the CAD .. "Cardboard Asisted Design" Dead laugh... excellent... Can't wait to see the cardboard or VR become true reality. Good luck and courage..
I like your proposed galley setup; it's very similar to that of a C&C 36 I sailed on awhile back and quite enjoyed using.
The C&C 36 galley has a bunch of useful features that don't add much to usability at anchor but make it awesome in a seaway. There was a bar across the front of the stove at waist level that was useful both as a grab point and tether point. You could also string a line from the counter by the stairs to the counter by the sink (via nice looking aluminum corner pieces) to sort of lock yourself in the galley and reduce the odds that you'd fall out of the "U" underway when the galley was on the weather side. There was also a vertical grab bar next to the sink that made for easy passage forward. These considerations were quite clever and made life underway better than you'd expect from most production boats.
The sink was in the same spot as yours but had a backsplash which made it more of a separate space. I'd worry that your sink with no backsplash would be a problem for whatever was behind it. Maybe engineer some sort of folding backsplash that moves with the faucet? Or locate the sink on the aft countertop?
There is something i noticed on my trailer sailer that I really like. The v berth is sealed and it has compartments along each side that are also are water tight. What has occured to me is that this design essentially makes it a double hulled boat. If i ever puncture the hull, all it would do is fill the compartment since the compartments are all above the water line. Even my through hull is in a water tight box. A couple months ago, i got myself a 41ft Morgan Out Island that I'm certain to eventually redesign. When I do that, i will certainly adopt the same idea, at least to the front half of the boat. I bring this up because it may be an idea you'd maybe not considered and this would be the time to incorporate it.
And I thought using ‘cardboard mock-ups” was the high tech !👍🏻👍🏻. Then You pull the Goggle Hands ‘thingies’ 🤔🤣🤣🥰. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow what a well thought out layout. A great opportunity to translate your experience into your own new boat design!
Incredibly well thought out !!! I felt honoured seeing you architect minds at work !
I’d flip the sink and. Reefer. Solves a few problems; plumbing, faucet, reefer access.
Regarding the Quarter berth you may want to consider a different tack. I have a 1981 Pearson 37, basically the next gen of the Pearson 36. Considering the amount of time the QBerth is used for sleeping it seems like you are taking up an enormous amount of space with the enclosure to fit the far end of the berth in the new design. Really chops up the interior.
When DISTANCE 21:22 racing I sleep in the Q-berth and go in head first. You may want to consider this way to sleep in the Q berth. On one tack you are laying against the hull with your feet below your head, incredibly comfortable and supportive. Really more comfortable than my bed at home. On the opposite tack you are against the engine fore-aft bulkhead and again very comfortable with feet slightly below your head. But more importantly, you have privacy and relative quiet, crew can move about the interior and not disturb you, even turn on the lights use a small hanging towel can block the light.
In addition you are not creating a large intrusion into the cabin area. The area behind the cabin bulkhead is wide open and suitable for all kinds of storage etc. The Q berth is very wide allowing you to possibly make a double. Add in a bit of ventilation and you have the best sea berth on the boat, a huge storage area when in port and a very useful guest bedroom with some reasonable privacy by hanging some curtains.
All the best to you both.
check out the interior layout of the Pearson 37 from the early 1980’s.
I’m sure you guy’s have already thought about keeping the weight distribution fairly equal! It will be amazing when it’s finished 🥂🥳
Love the new interior. It's funny seeing a boat interior designed for actual sailing vs what the major boat manufacturers are selling.
Actually using VR to design and build the interior is a practical application of this dreamed about future we all live in now.
The big nav is back in style on steroids and repurposed! Looks like a really functional layout.
I absolutely love this! Quick question though, why don’t you guys keep the sink where it was/ on the other side? SOOO excited to see you guys bring this into reality!! Love from the US❤
I was thinking the same thing, just for backsplash benefits. Then there could be a bigger fridge.
@@rjbennett9939 I agree. Also better social flow and camera angles on the prep surface, if they're doing a cooking segment, or something. The sink in the model is kinda out of place.
Absolutely.
Time to blueprint everything now that you're in bare bones mode. Great tour. Looks very cool.
Another fine example of CAD (cardboard aided design) at work creating liveable working space.
It’s going to be so much more functional & beautiful! You guys rock!!
Love the whole process! I especially love that the boat will be specific to your unique needs and experience. Congratulations!
Your channel is the best guys. I love how capable in any situation you both are and your repairs and methods are so similar to how I go about these undertakings - bite off more than you anticipate every time (OCD for me!) then plan the hell out of the repair, then as my wife says make it breathe fire. Thanks for the amazing chance to follow along..
Wooohooo! The energy is building now!!! What an exciting stage of the project. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! :D
Such a pleasure to step into your technology and see what you are thinking for Uma. Thanks for bring us with you. Loving this journey!!
The new design is exciting as it is a work in progress! Is weight distribution across the boat something to take into consideration? Like weight and balance on a airplane.
Love the design! The only thing that I see, and a few other commenters see, is the sink location seems difficult. I think the sink could fit nice in the corner, left of the stove. Having a counter space near the center of the boat is essential. Even in a large house, people ALWAYS congregate around the kitchen counter/island/peninsula.
This is going to be amazing! I can imagine how much more that you will refine the rough draft that you have worked out so far!
don't forget a little place for your fire stove !
Small splash back behind sink will hide tap and give a touch of seperation. Also a post on inboard end will let you run a storage locker across the celling. good storage for spice and ect..
So great to see it coming together!
You guys are so inventive. This is going to be great! Stay well ❤
That was so cool. I liked the cardboard setup but then to see how it all fits together was awesome! Can't wait to see you work through the implementation of the design!
As a viewer thinking of you two, it would be great to see some vendors on-board for the project. You deserve the latest and greatest hi-tech cooking, hvac, navigation and plumbing equipment.
Brilliant! Well done both of you! Can't wait to see it starting to becoming reality!!
The tour was really well done! Seeing the virtual and the reality was very helpful for those of us with limited spatial sense! Thanks for doing all that work!
Dan, the professional boat faller! hehehe sorry, couldn't resist!
Looking forward to this all coming together!!!
Looking good, getting things where you want them, small little tweaks can really make a big differance and I think that getting a long view inside the boat will give a great feeling of space. New portlights and hatches are exciting!
Great video! Loved getting to see the flow of the new layout in VR
It looks so good in VR, and I like the fact that you lay it out to really see if it works.
You guys work so hard and I hope that you are enjoying the rebuild.
Have fun guys and keep us posted. 😉
Wow I'm so impressed with you guys and you're such an awesome couple you both are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your Discovery process and design contemplations after utilizing Uma you know keenly what to do with the space to maximize it I can't wait for you to be sailing your dream Uma. All blessings🎉
It is going to look so amazing!
Great video really. Loved the technique you are using here. And it's a ton of work indeed. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool to see your ideas. I'm sure it'll be even more beautiful than imma was before. Question: are you planning on keeping the Norwegian Wood stove? As a northerner myself, that was always one of the coolest additions you made to Uma.
Awesome design for Uma 3.0 ! I can see this design is tailored specifically to your needs and voyages in future sailing adventures.....I bet you both are very excited to start the build!
amazing use of the VR setup! super helpful to visualize the plans
I just love your vids and your work! Amazing!
Hi guys, I’m so excited to see Uma Being put back together, I just want to thank you for not giving up on her. She is a wonderful year. You’ve got a lot of memories in the past with her and a lot more to go. Hopefully one day you’ll get to sail to Australia which I know is a long way from the USA, but I know she would be capable of doing it love and appreciate you both. Keep up the good work. Keep your dreams, alive with Uma , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️🧑🏾🦽🦘🐨🌏
Great to see your boat coming back to life.
Way to go.......one thing (for sure) I would considered looking in to it would be a differend low profile galley faucet? loosing a balance when entering down below one may fall over the sink and the faucet will cause some "pain"? It sort of look like out of place as it is, everything else is so smooth etc. but your focus will be on the faucet? Built my Endurance 35 intrerior totally out of cardboard before the deck, was happy with it for the next 15 + years!
Cant wait to see it when it’s finished.
Have you ever connected with Sailing GBU? Very similar layout. I realize you have specifics and different modes. You are all doing great things. Thank you for taking us on the journey!
Wahooo
How amazing is this boat your !
What an INCREDIBLE team work !
🥰
Love the sink position. Seen and used it in production boats that had it in that place. They did have at least a bit of a screen to prevent water spilling and/or splashing on the nook though.
When filming a VR tour ...... for the sake of other veiwers move your FPS vision just a little slower - pretend you are underwater or in space, it will make it a much nicer experience to watch.
• It seemes like a no brainer ...... swap the sink around to be on the bulkhead rather than against the couch/settee
• Cabinet coners should have large bevels or large diameter bullnose (verticle and horizontal)
• Since you are on a heeling monohull and horizontal surfaces like your editing station have to be cleared when making way anyway ..... it might be a consideration to make the editing station bench lip foldable (fold down to form shelf/desktop) quick secure stowage of stuff and provide a little more corridor room for traversing
Fabulous design. Perhaps the hanging wet locker should move back to the hull and waist high. It will open up the most cogested area. The bulkhead behind can then begina good foot back opening up visibility , walk soace and air flow. Top of the locker can be the " catchall counter" which every living space needs. Good luck and stay safe
We love you guys. Great job as always. Happy days to us all.
It looks like it is going to be REALLY nice!
I’m amazed at your ability to project your ideas into VR . I like it. Well done guys
Impressive guys, looking awesome, looking forward to see the end product.
Love the design, it's clear you both are putting a lot of effort into it!
Holy crap guys!! That is awesome !!
Really nice, always enjoy your videos. Cheers!
Glad you understand what your looking at!
I swear i wait the whole week just for this episodes! Thank u so much for existing
Very creative way of showing us the new layout. I think it will be terrific and Uma will be you new and preferred design after years of Sailing in her original plan.
The Uma II will be a fantastic boat.
It seems like all the weighty items in this design are on the starboard side: not a problem? Switching the sink and the fridge/freezer seems like a better plan from here (a hundred miles inland). Also glad that the hanging locker won't be so intrusive on the passageway IRL. I like the idea of a transom lite between the pilot berth and the sitting area; maybe a pocket door for a sliding transom privacy cover? I'll probably have more great ideas for you as you continue; in the meanwhile, carry on! All the best!
Awesome, GOOD LUCK!
Amazing! I cant wait!
it is going to be fantastic...you two have great taste and brilliant space usage...can't wait to see the results...cheers
I've been fascinated by your refits of Uma! Both of you are trained architects, and it shows in the depth of your planning. But the current refit is really the result of years of experience at sea! I am so looking forward to what you do next!
Speaking of cool design. I like your D+K logo in the lower right corner. Cool designs abound!
So cool!
That was really cool, can't wait to see the finished product
Well done! There can't be many cruisers who have your skillset, abilities, and willingness to take on a boat refit themselves.
