Fridge Benefits - How to totally transform a 45-year-old galley | Boat Refit Documentary Part 21

Want to know how to make - or re-make - boat fridge lids?
Need to replace a galley countertop?
Looking to modernise the interior of an old sailing yacht?
If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’ then this video is for you!
The galley on our 1978 Peterson 44, ‘Brilliant II’ hasn’t strayed from its original format but is now barely recognisable from its ‘70’s style previous look, thanks mostly to the introduction of more modern materials like Corian and brushed stainless steel.
The stainless steel work is covered in another video (Link here: • How To Go Stainless In... ) but this one explains how we made the large, Corian countertop encasing the fridge lids, as well as how we re-made said fridge lids using closed-cell foam and fibreglass. There’s also a bunch of other tips and tricks anyone attempting an interior refit might find useful.
We’d like to thank the teams at Gangemi Cabinet Makers (gangemicabinetmakers.com.au) and Hawkes Boatyard (hawkesboatyard.com) for their advice and assistance with materials supply.
Happy boat work and enjoy!

The quality of workmanship is just insane .... am so impressed with you two... Just awesome.

[@SailingYachtSaltyLass]

Great job on the corian. It looked really good.

[@markc3717]

Well done & excellent biopsi of your manufacture & fit out - including setbacks is quite humbling to watch but precious for educating us on how to recover - first rate.

[@kylen2288]

Absolutely first rate workmanship. You've given me some great tips throughout your refit process. I own a Ericson 39b of similar age and about to embark on a similar refit program. Great videos, from across the ditch. 😊

Fantastic job. It all looks amazing, well done!

[@gregmcroberts3853]

Can you advise of the supplier of the corian materials
