i think that you are making really good choices. Removing the waste tank from under the V-berth should provide you with a great deal of storage for extra sails, and removing the propane heater and radiators will make for even more space. I also agree with the idea of moving the toilet forward -- until you pointed out the mast step, I had not noticed the problem. Keep on working ... you are making great progress!!!
I like your engine template. I will follow your example. I replaced all the internal framing on my 24 ft cabin cruiser. I have to rebuild the engine support. And I’m replacing the shaft log and shaft strut.
A great yacht , a great bloke and you are doing a good job!! keep the dream going and I am looking forward to your next video Cheers from Mick in Australia.
So inspiring for me renovating a 26 feet motorsailer Solvigg 26 and doing 10 percent of what you do. Anyway - i work 4-6 hours daily but I am 75 so working slow - and enjoying every minute of it ! Some experiences : (this is the fifth boat I renovate) -gravity emptying is the best. Some say stainless tanks do not stand urine in the long run - I have plastic(with risk of smell instead) -drip fed diesel is best (Refleks) - they are silent and some have a top that you can use as an extra stove but the do not work when sailing. -convectors are great with a slow warming from underneath that makes everything dry in a soft manner. Maybe you can have heating from the motor when motoring and 220 Volt when in harbour ( all integrated with the convectors) I look forward to next episode for inspiration. OE 35 is a very beatiful classic boat. Thank you for your humour, courage and creative constructive madnes / LG
Quality content! Subscribed! I have been thinking about diesel stove too, but: 1. The exhaust combined with gimball gives me headache. 2. Wife is a professional cook, so she can't wait for the sailing season so she can have her pans on live fire again! :-)
the first thing i done on my refit was to take out the toilet. gave it away. im installing a composting one. no tanks, no tubing, was able to eliminate 2 thru hulls, so the boat just got way safer because of that. you now have a chance to redesign the interior of the boat if you choose to do it. it will never be as bare as it is
What if you try to install the Yanmar with a homokinetic or a cardanshaft? Both forces you to put the engine out of line in any direction. It could solve your sideways and your height problem. In your situation a homokinetic shaft with thrustbearing would be the first option to look for because as I think you will not have enough length to fit a cardanshaft. Wishing you success.
Check if the Kubota nanni 14 hp vill fit better. I changed a Volvo MD 6 to this and the differens was about 50 mm. Nanni lines 50 mm high over volvo motorfitting.
Why do we do this to ourselves? My addiction was a 23 foot Alberg Sea Sprite. It needed a deck recore - done. All new teak topside trim - done. New interior- done.Outboard in a well? No fixing that, so the solution was to retrofit an engine. My suggestion is to check out Kubota marine diesel. Either the ten or the fourteen horse should be right. Of course, I did this 15 years ago and specs may have changed. Just a thought, knowing how utterly soul-crushing it is to spend days in freezing cold, wrapped in tyvek, hanging on for dear life to an angle grinder, the motor exhaust from which was sufficient enough to keep my fingers from freezing. But then, soon it is summer, the engine purring you along out past the head land where the wind starts, the sails go up and thoughts of grinders banished to the bilges.
try to save as much of the subfloor as you can! leave the floor in place! just add plywood under! same for the bulkheads, just replace rotten part with epoxy and fiberglass, add wood trim box to cover. Nothing is perfect in life or boats. i just did a 15 month refit, hated my life by the end, keep it easy and save what you can of the boat

Thanks! The work is going on, for ever :)

A lot of work! Good luck with it!

Thanks Mick!
Great videos! Sailboats are like Onions. The more you peel them the more they make your cry.
Thanks for watching

Gimballing a drip disel stove won't be an easy task. Good luck and happy sailing to you!
the dry humor is good.
I'm not the funniest guy in the world. I hope :)
Rotten wooden bulkhead. It is not a surprise. Good luck!!!!
There's more to come ;)
Hard work will free you at the end, that is lie. keep going amigo I need to learn through youre experience, one day I will own my boat.
Thank you for encouraging me!

Definately worth thinking about it, thanks!
I’m glad to see your progress. I look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work
Thanks!
all in good time ,diesel stove for sure
Not cheap but hopefully worth it

Interesting idea, thanks for thinking along! It would be possible for sure but I will check other options, too. I try to keep it as simple as possible

I settled with Mitsubishi based Sole Mini 29, but this will be revealed in some future episodes

Nice conclusion :) We live for these moments
Nanni Kubota N3.30 fit in my OE36
Good info, thanks!
Slow, but it's forward progress 👍
Veeeery sloow :D
What do you enjoy the most, sailing boats or fixing them?
As a matter of fact I enjoy both :)

Half of me wants to finish the job quick and make some compromises to do so. Then the other half kicks in to say - do it the best possible way...
Hmm, what about turbocharge the engine ?
Thanks for the idea but it would be too complicated I'm afraid
Help this gentleman to get everything fixed and running in Your time, Lord, in Jesus' Name. Supply all his needs and the time he needs to do it.
Time is probably the most valuable ;)
