    UA-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'!

    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!

      A lot of hours went into these 35 minutes, and it shows.

      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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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!

      @@ItsPrinceTaz The corner cupboards in my kitchen have 2 tier lazy susans with 2 part hinged doors to get at them. It's such a good use of space. They have a corner cut into them so the door closes flush with the other cupboards and when you spin the susans around they are poking out of the cupboard essentially, making it super easy to access.

    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 роки тому +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.

    Seeing the work you've put in to Uma here but looking back on it from May 2023 and knowing what changes you've made in the last little while (I won't give any spoilers for those who are bingeing these videos in order) it's still incredible to see.
    As mentioned by others, this is an excellent tour with floor plan and cuts to befores and afters. Your ability to work as a team and envision what ways you need her to change, what ways you want her to change, what ways she cannot change due to structure, expense, complexity of what it would entail and then execute the plan. I also love the way you think outside of the traditional boat-box: the multipurpose nook, the new desk, the reimagined food storage and fridge, the head, the space that was the "garden" and became the pellet stove... And I love that the three of you aren't stagnant in that process. Granted, sometimes Uma has forced you to make changes you otherwise may not have made at the time but then... I guess that's sometimes what happens, right. One partner doesn't say a whole lot most of the time and then they make decisions that the rest of the team can only react to because the decision has been made.
    It's good to come back and watch videos like this every once in a while and reflect on how you're continuing to learn and adjust and grow as a team of three (cuz Uma really can't be ignored as a big personality in this adventure of yours).

    I have to say I love how clean a modern you’ve made Uma❣️ I’ve been watching a few other sailing UA-camrs and it’s amazing how cluttered their boats look. With old disused equipment taking pride of place, and the stuff they really use, added in a haphazard manner. Four faucets of the kitchen sink; 1 very fancy, looking like what would be used in a house, 1 little spout for sea water, another little spout for drinking water and I didn’t catch what the 3rd little spout was for, all the little spouts used a foot pump. These faucets seemed to be added at random around the sink, probably as needed. I guess it is easier to accumulate than to pare down. It’s also to me amazing how many folks use extra sleeping bunks as storage by piling stacks of stuff on it,rather than just converting it to permanent storage
    Anyhow, love what you’ve done with Uma so far, both functional and beautiful!
