Your skills with layout and cabinetry are no longer just DIY amateur but pro level. It has been fun to watch your skills develop. Very, very impressive.
Thank you! :)
agreed - he is way understated for his impressive skills
Cooking in Australia! LOL that got me
billiondollardan 😂😂
;)
Sail Life ,I am from Australia and I thought it was the other way round.
@@CaptMarkSVAlcina - it *is* the other way around. Here's a corrected map of the world. www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/48952/mcarthurs-universal-corrective-map-of-the-world-mcarthur
You need serious fiddles down here.
Great to hear that your gimbal box is set up for your trip to Australia.
She is coming together nicely
I cannot believe you have time to do such a thorough restoration AND make such informative, detailed and professional vids! So glad I found your channel. This is the definitive go-to resource if I ever achieve my dream of re-fitting a yacht. Great work. Cheers from Down Under.
Amazing work!! So inspiring. And the bit about cooking in Australia really cracked me up 😅
A lot of progress this week . Fun to watch ,congrats.
Thank you Mads for another great video. Athena is looking fantastic as more of the galley and saloon get done. Hope the weather improves for you. For a more "permanent" fix on the companion way hatch get a piece of foam pipe insulation and fit it over the lip of the hatch opening. Take care and have good week.
Well that went together better than an IKEA kitchen, very spiffy!
Found your channel a few week’s back and got totally mesmerized by your level off skills. Had to watch all your videos and you really done a great travel from novice to pro.
Me myself knows my way around tools but still learn and get a lot of ideas and tips from your channel. You would really be worthy of a silver button by now.
Hang in there and I will for sure follow you on your forward journeys.

Boat McRill
Nice to know that in the event of a knockdown and roll... you won’t spill the soup on the stove. Excellent planning!
I admire and respect your attention to detail and doing things thoroughly. You set an excellent example for others attempting to refit older boats. You explain your methods and reasoning in detail and generously respond to viewers comments and questions. It is a pleasure to watch your work.
You are getting pretty dang good at this restoration business Mads. :)
Wow Mads you did a LOT of work this week! The move has been a big boost. If I ever do a refit again that would be my goal to have a workshop next to the boat or vice versa! Thanks for the excellent installment.
Every time I see that boat I think... Acrow under the bow and Acrow under the stern, with a suitably chunky pioece of wood as an interface. Phew, glad I got that off my chest! Proper cabinetry is a win win in a dodgy sea state, and it won't delaminate like cheaper carcasses and laminates, good job. My view is to try and build everything to last a 100 years, it gives confidence and it satisfying to use. I'm still for hot air, but I'm really interested in seeing your wet system. Microbore pipe will have a faster response time with heating systems. Your work rate makes me go weak at the knees - relentless dedication, mmmm a good name for a boat! Great video.
The only problem I have with your videos is that they end. I could watch a video about your progress every day of the week.
👍👌❤🇨🇦, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sail Life day,
I had a think just a suggestion you might want to think about of running a string of LED lights in the toe kick for night lights when under sail. Did this in a customer s kitchen she said it was a great place for she and her boyfriend to dance in
It’s all coming together now, what an awesome job you make of everything you put your hands too. 👍
Another design flaw on the Warrior 38. Boy, if anyone ever asks why that manufacturer went out of business - it was because the SUCKED so hard...its almost funny...Athena can be so happy that she landed in your hands and now gets converted into something worth carrying the designation "Yacht". Keep it up Mads, awsome work!
I'd also recommend a safety bar. If you stumble into the stove you either burn your private parts or knock over the pot backwards with the hot liquids using the "chute" behind the stove to redirect to your feet. Or both. Also, on a port tack you'll need something to clip in. I know you don't want to cook at sea but maybe you have somebody on board who would and then you can reap the benefits. I quite like to cook in weather, most folks don't complain if hot food materializes itself in adverse conditions.
It's fun to see more visible changes now in each episode. I know when we built a house it's sometimes the easiest things that make the most visual impact. All that glassing & sanding is finally paying off. Now you get to do the fun stuff.
Find a furniture 'glide', one of those plastic based pads with a threaded stud, add a fender washer, light spring, another washer, and mount it in the bulkhead several inches below the gimbal mount, with a double nut on the far side, so it presses against the side of the oven box and slows the rocking (might need one on each side). Even light chop at anchor can cause heated liquids on the stove to slop over if the box is free to gyrate with abandon...
Always nice to see these building video's. You do a great job. Cheers BOB (the builder ;-)
As Bruce Kratky in his post below said, you sir have graduated to the Pro Level. The toe kick in the galley is epic! You rock the dock!!
haha i'm glad your galley allows for cooking in Australia lol
!. Sink should be as deep as possible - 10" or better.
2. Provide some means to lock gimballed stove in level position.
3. Make provision for a safety bar in front of stove - 1-1/2" stainless steel tubing or better.
4. How do you plan to trim out the bulkhead edges? They appear to be different angles where cut, and will be difficult to finish off. Are you planning to use a hardwood to trim the edges?
5. Are you planning any grease proof surfaces around the cooking area? Something easy to clean?
6. The toe space/kick space should be required on every boat. Don't know why manufacturers are so contrary.
7. You are treading new ground with the sectional cast-iron boiler. Aside from the assembly of the unit, you will require an expansion tank, make-up water means, high water/low water cutoffs, drainage means, etc. This will require a lot of space and considerable planning. Hot water circulation pump needs to be carefully placed and the slope of piping needs to be considered. Has the manufacturer of the boiler provided any system requirements?
As a retired mechanical engineer, as well as a full time cruiser, I look forward to seeing how this works out. Best of luck!
Agree. That sink is going to splash in any kind of seaway and is unlikely to drain on a starboard tack. Best place for a sink is on or near the centerline.
Hey Mads and Ava, you should check out Sailing Aquariums. This past Friday they released a boat tour of a Tayana 55. The owner was showing Ken how he bought a genset head from a French manufacturer to convert a small diesel motor. He said he saved a lot of money doing it that way and was able to boost output. Good luck, she's looking good. 👍👍👍
Clay, at least get the name of the channel right, if you going to recommend it. " Sailing Aquarius around the World". You're welcome.
Hey Ferd's. Thanks for deciphering my cryptic message and taking the time to make the correction. It takes a special individual to do that. 😜👍
@@clayfarnet970 LOL
build once, built right, this will last your lifetime. Well done!
Too late on the "build once" for the galley!
Moving the boat next to your workshop is a game changer as you've said! Great lay out for the galley, cheers from a very dry SoCal..... 🌴😎🌴
The Australia joke really cracked me up!
Excellent. It must be great to have Athena right next to the workshop. You've probably doubled your productivity - which was pretty good in the first place.
That galley countertop is strong enough to do mixed doubles gymnastics routines on. ;)
An hour early this week? Awesome!
Figured I'd give myself more time to reply to comments :)
Like other people already mentioned: won’t the pots hit the plywood behind the stove when heeling to starboard?
You could off course use only the front two areas of the furnace when under sail, but that means another thing to think about when cooking.
Btw I just finished catching up the Athena refit videos in a few weeks, and I really enjoyed them and learned some things I needed for fixing some things around my own boat.
Thanks Mads and off course Eva!
If you new heat source is to be wood powered be sure to allow for a gas flow defector (by pass to chimney/flew) so you can vary the ratio of space heat to water heat. I also have a design for a log (drift wood/coal) heater for our Southerly. The silica glass for the door I brought from our old factory heater in Australia so it will not only be well used, it will become well travelled.
Underneath that stove is a perfect place to build a secret compartment for hiding important things when you're going ashore.
Oh man that cliffhanger was really mean. I want to see that boiler/heater now. I know you’ve done your homework well and it’s going to be awesome
Personally i would swap the placement of the sink and the fridge/freezer, just to have counterspace available right next to the stove
But all in all, she looks damned good Mads!
never mind, didn't watch the whole video and seeing you already made the cutout before making the comment 😂
I'd be leaving the beaching leg fittings on the boat. Seriously handy things to have if your in an area with no facilities.
If you're not going to use that space behind the stove for storage you should cut some slots in it and use it for knife storage.
you can use the area on the shelf behind the stove for storage of knives and long utensiles. youcan cut slots for knives or make holes for dropping handles into.
Darn, going through "glorious sanding" withdrawals... Looking good. You are like a Mads cientist. See what I did there :)
wow great progress this week! Well done!
Thanks!
I like you vlogs very much. I got used to binge watching this vlog and seeing projects completed. Now that I'm caught up it's excruciating waiting for the next vlog to come out.
Like the new editing style!
Very exciting to see it coming together! This week seemed like a big step forward.
The move to the shop yard is brilliant. Much more productive and much less planning on what to take back and forth and not having to move stuff around in the boat to have room to work. And the stairs, WOW can actually carry stuff up and down with out a circus act. One of those, "why didn't I think of that a year ago"?
It's so convenient! :) I should have done it the second we moved to the new workshop (around 6 months ago)
Another excellent video.
Mega progress Mads. Being next to the workshop will save a ton of time and frustration. Andy UK
Enjoying your videos. Keep it up
Wow. Lots of progress. That was so satisfying!!! You must be so pleased.
Bloody love the off hand cooking in Australia mention
The pace is moving much faster now. Now that you can see the forward cabin. You must have elephant load of ideas. Nice to see that you contained to be in good spirits about your work keep it up. Hi Ava.
There's always elephants (ideas) roaming around :D
It’s really taking shape, great job.
I loved this episode!! So much progress in one show. Congratulations
Guess you have this on your todo list, but if not; some sort of blocking mechanism (catch or bolt) on the stove, so you can stop it from swinging when you do not require it to gimbal.
Companionway hatch; there is a serious opening in front of the sliding hatch. When you go offshore and encounter larger waves on deck, that opening is going to supply you with solid amounts of water - inside. If it was my boat I would look for a decent way to waterproof the opening.
Making progress, Mads, good on ya'mate.
I think i would put some hinges on the top plate behind the stove, for some extra storage
Perfect spice rack!
At least have the top plate pop off for access inside.
I'd go further saying to glass it in, add a drain, and have a standing dish drying rack box.
Ganska söt man. Possibly your most satisfying video to date. Snappy editing too. Always tight and with steady improvement. Giterdun.
The lower cabinets are naturally triangular (due to hull shape) and bending down to reach in sucks,... so make drawers that tilt out like a trash bin... simple nylon pivot at the apex and simple latch at top... just a thought
seems like you managed to get things done more quickly too since you don't have to go so far to the workshop. Very nice job.
Great job Mads! Wondering if you're planning a stove cover thingy. Our boat has a piece of laminate covered plywood, that you lift and slide down a slot behind the stove. It turns the stove into more countertop space.
Fun to watch👍👍👍👍👍
great. thanks to the keen observation on the australian use feature on your stove, my living room is decorated with the spewed remains of my corn flakes.
pat. pending! ;)
My issue was the "metric drivers license", but same outcome
Like the roof in our car. Somehow we must have bought Danish chocolate milk and it just fell up there all on it's own.
I love your vids, inspiring! Thank you and all the best :)
The amount of work! Amazing, you’re a skilled guy!
Mads, I bet that back wall of the stove cubby was fiddly. I have to say that you make a lot of work look easy and go by far too quickly!
ah raining sideways, that is fun. im used to that too.
As always, excellent cabinetry work, Mads!
Still the best DIY boat videos. Keep up the excellent and informative posts. Your rational for doing each job is an added bonus.
Thank you so much :)
Mads, one thing, i advise you install a means to suck the steamed oil and other cooking byproducts from that area. If you plan to cook like you'd cook in a house, all the panels are going to get coated in stuff.
As already state. Pro stuff going on now. Great job Mad's. GOD speed. JC
Good job 😁
Athena really likes water! Love how the galley looks.
Thanks :D
Whew, I am finally caught up on 5+ years of Sail Life. What a journey, inadvertently summed up 2 videos prior when in a single episode you welded, gimbaled, cabinetted (is that a word?), lathed and otherwise trimmed metal pieces, and assembled an appliance. It's been a lot of fun watching your skills and DIY knowledge develop, and I like to think I've learned a bit (about sanding and fiberglassing, definitely!) myself. Looking forward to 2020!
I assume that the previous stove (that I think you got the idea for at a boatshow?) was kerosene powered and thus no longer desirable?
nice work
Do you know who Norm Abrams is? Check out the New Yankee Workshop. Your new setup reminds me of a cross between Norm and a mad scientist. Who happens to be Danish and have a semi-Scottish accent. In fact, that is probably the best description of this channel. ❤️
I have a project to start on my storage space here in Germany.... which has been unattended for the last 10 years... your methods are helping me to come up with new ways to organize and renovate that space! thanks!
hi very nice work and it look grate
Great video as usual. Is it just me or are this video and last week’s darker, in the lighting sense, than usual?
The bit behind the cooker would be great if you could replicate in thin stainless steel or overlay stainless onto it. Easy to keep clean and heat proof.
My Sunday afternoon enjoyment. Your attention to detail is great. If I need to remodel my kitchen In the future can I hire you? Also, great to see the puppy around. How is he getting along?
Coming together
Very nice galley think Eva will love it !
Thanks Moe :D I hope so :)
You may want to allow more swing space for your oven, I have seen my oven door horizontal in a storm. Amazingly the kettle sat on top (half full) did not move nor did the frying pan next to it.
Starboard side is better side to have the galley for crossing the Pacific east to west.
love the stairs. going to be so much safer
Ridiculously strong is better than annoyingly flimsy, IMO.
Sounds like a rule to live by :)
this sounds like a tshirt design
When it comes to sailing across oceans, there's no such thing as 'overbuilt'.
0:58 admire the pile of glorious sanders and other power tools....
I love boiler systems - the type of heat they produce is much better than forced air. I'm curious how you will get the short bursts of dry heat you need sometimes to dry out yourselves or wet gear quickly.
I was half pie expecting a rounded ply backing for the gimble to match the curved swing arc!
Great progress, great video, have a wonderful week.
Are you going to need to get a surveyors report done or will you just leave the Insurance company a link in the description
You should change the name of this channel from 'Sail Life' to 'Plywood Life'
wow I did not recognise Athena as I had missed a few vids due to working away.
Things seem to be coming together nicely. Can't wait to see where the hot tub is going! Oh and the games room.
The main question on my mind, is where is the pool table going?
Nice work as usual.. thank you for sharing the dream coming true
i think you and crisfix are the most useful and true diy chanels on yt i am watching youre chanel from somer 2018. Progres is slow but constant and i like that you rely put youre mind and wishes together and make all the stuf by youre self keep going and i wish you sell athina after and get biger sailboat to do more diy agen bec look like a man who will get bored by not making stuf and just sailing . After u make athena i want you to make some lil humans its time bro ;) to all people reading my eng is shit i know ...
Heheheh.. Don't worry about it. The boat work won't stop when Athena is launched. Mads will be "improving" on things for as long as he owns Athena. He's already made some design choices that I suspect he'll change his mind about after he's lived aboard for a year or so.
You need to check the swival clearance with teh back panel with at least a 6" tall pot on the stove top
Maybe you should put a cooking pot on a back burner area to make sure it won't hit the back when the stove is at 25 degrees.
When in doubt, epoxy! Good video!
Great friggin video Mads!! Really enjoy the near completion of the individual projects, you do good work!
Thanks! :D
