- The boat is an Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31
I like cruising outside the normal sailing season in Scandinavia. Therefore I needed a proper heat source, simple, silent and reliable. No mechanics and use of 12 V. It is not always you will find an electric source in a harbor in the winter time.
I did install an Refleks 66 oil stove in my previous boat (Albin Ballad). So it was not that hard making that decision again.
Placement and the solution I came up with, gave me some more storage space, which was an advantage for a family of 4. I just want to rebuild the wooden setup, using real mahogany and make it taller, for better storage.
The Refleks Stove is handmade in Denmark. The design is more than 60 year old (my second-hand stove in this video is produced before 1989). It is low-tech and all parts can be replaced. Produced for fishing vessels and military.
Nice Refleks... big fans of those for the dry heat! Monsun is a lovely boat! Def considering it for my next boat (have an Albin Vega now).
I was one hair string from buying a Vega, many years ago. Very much inspired by Jarle Andhoy and his first antarctic ekspedition.
Can this heater be used underway in rough condition
My guess is yes. According to Refleks Stoves you have to be aware of constant healing, which is not happening i huge waves :-) It is built mainly for fishing wessels.
Reflex is quiet, which is good :)
Hello! Just found your channel. How happy are you with the Refleks stove? I am considering installing a Glembring diesel stove similar to Refleks, on my OE36 sailboat that I am restoring now. Any problems with sooting, flaming out, or something else?
OE36 another beautiful design from Olle Enderlein. I love the simplicity of the pot-stove. Very happy with mine. One of the downsize compared to my webasto is that there no botton to turn it on - You have to preheat it (shown in another video). And it takes up space in the cabin. Avoid flaming out by using the H-chimney + 2 m of total lenght chimney (insulated above deck). Prevent sooting by using clean oil. I have really good experiense with Shell GTL diesel (Gas To Liquid), Really clean burning and I can have i running at a very low power, with 1 L consumption for 20 hr.
@@SailingBlueBird Sounds good!
Great boat.
What is the roofheigjt inside in the cabin, tpilet, front cabin?
Highest spot is around 185 and in toilet around 170 cm
@@SailingBlueBird Thsnks,
Thos is quite enough.
If compare Monsun31 with Ballad - who is faster under sails?
If not secret why you decide after Ballad buy Monsun31 not other model?
@@janisspalvins677 i wanted a boat of higher quality and more comftorbly. The monsun does not point as high to windward, but otherwise faster totally on a cruise. Thats my opinion.
Only downgrade is handling in a marina.
@@SailingBlueBird Thanks for info.

Great video! Considering to upgrade to a monsun.
Why is it more difficult to handle in the marina than the Ballad?
How tall are you?
Tak from Østerbro…
