Hatch size. Make a template, put on your heaviest gear with lifewest harnesses etc and try climbing through. The main function of the v-berth hatch is an emergency exit.
Exactly!
It doesn’t appear that they have enough room to put a hatch they can climb out of! Hard to tell by camera of course, but as Kika was pointing up to where it will be… I doubt she would be able to climb through one there! Dangerous for sure!!
@@ricktaylor4real I think if they make it curve to the front that is going to work though. Hard to say with the camera.
I don't often comment.... But yeah it's there so that you can climb out of it.
@@ricktaylor4real safety last...as usual!
I can't believe how emotionally invested I am in see this refit completed. lol
Because you want actual good content again?
I can’t either
@@internetposta7389 check back in a year if you’re not happy and let those of us who enjoy it enjoy it
@@internetposta7389. Don’t watch if you prefer to complain.
@@internetposta7389 Jerk. Some people actually like it.
Kinda fun watching a couple of architects become naval architects. 😝
Absolutely. As an arm chair (or sofa) sailer it would never happen but if I was having a boat built I know who I would want to design it.
@@beakyturbot your kidding right?
@@doppler3237 And aren't you a toxic t***. If you don't like the channel then don't follow and comment on it. If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all.
@@doppler3237 And I think you will find it's "you're kidding" not "your kidding"
😂
A small recommendation is to install a compact dehumidifier in the wet clothes closet. And the clothes will dry faster and the overall humidity will be lower
In Passivehaus design air is extracted from the spaces of highest humity, bathrooms, kitchen. Maybe a one way mechanical vent might work here?
I’ve often wondered about a Passivehaus style heat recovery system coupled with a central dehumidifier on a boat (or van that you sleep in).
I wanted to say the same thing. They wouldn't need to run except when the wet closet's wet gear is actually wet. They might want one more stored someplace for when they're showering, cooking, or the likes as a backup.
Not a bad idea, but I'd add a caution to avoid dehumidifiers that aren't fairly robust (and energy-consuming). The really small ones don't work very well.
i dont think uma has enough solar and regen to run a dehumidifier for any amout of time.

I will never stop drinking my morning coffee, LOL.
to be honest I used to LOVE coffee. Not to mention Dan makes AMAZING lattes 😆but then the headaches became so bad if i skipped even one day. And my mornings were terrible, I was groggy until my coffee and I just could not wake up early. AG1 isn't the only thing that helps, but that along with a few other things (like magic mind + we also quit alcohol and sugar) all those combined have been extremely helpful with the transition. I can still have a coffee once in a while, but I never crave it daily.
@@SailingUma Hi Kika and Dan, thanks for responding. Before I get back to the coffee, I love your channel. I once followed quite a few sailors but have narrowed it down to two sets, you two, and Nikki and Jason
I would love to be a patron, but in these days of outrageous inflation, I am not in a position to do that, especially with all the news and entertainment channels I follow. I hope just watching and subscribing helps on the RUclips end. Every subscription these days includes either a monthly/annual rate or requests for money - of course - people have to be paid - but the bottom-up, scattered news and entertainment turn payment into an issue. If we each paid for each channel we watch, our disposable income would quickly dwindle. Before the internet/SM, all the news and entertainment was aggregated in a favorite newspaper. The advantage now is that actual news, facts, enticing content and travel come from bottom-up, independent SM. The person who manages to figure out how to aggregate random SM for one price, could end up a billionaire. I am sure I am not alone with this payment dilemma.
I grew up on a large estate, part of which was a coffee plantation, so I have been drinking coffee since I was a child. I am addicted, as I, too, will get a slight headache if I skip; however, I am very happy with my addiction. Doesn't affect me adversely in any way, except skipping it, not even sleep.
Word is that coffee may even reduce the chances of getting Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes is a most unlikely outcome for my pretty healthy, active lifestyle. I don't agree with that coffee claim. Doesn't make sense to me, especially with all the sugar that many load into their coffee. I drink coffee with skim milk, no sugar.
Good for you for skipping sugar and alcohol. I, too, try to avoid added sugar, baked goods, pasta, etc., definitely falling off the rails here and there. I am not a teetotaler, enjoy a nice glass of wine, but haven't had any alcohol for almost three years and don't miss it at all.
Let me see if I can summarize why I still watch your channel? Engaging, down-to-earth, courage, innovative and smart, fascinating and distant places, interesting people and excursions - not just about yourselves, not land-hugging sailors.
@@SailingUma AG1 is burned, get out while you can.
@@SailingUma I used to drink a lot of coffee but was having a bad case of acid reflux day and night and could not sleep so I gave it up as well as quitting salt, alcohol and sugar. The salt was causing my heart rate to go up making it hard to sleep too and at my age it's not good. But now I feel much better and do not crave those things, but I do crave to have a boat.
@@SailingUma You are so carefull about your boat - you should be carefull about your sponsors as well. AG1 is crap. Nothing but a good marketing and a lot of money. Go for some studies ybout this - it's a waste of money.
This is arguably your most powerful post yet. It confirms to me that, when it comes to DESIGN, George Bernard Shaw’s classic quote holds true: 'The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.’ Thank you for being unreasonable - your design genius is so inspiring.
George Bernard Shaw was a commie who loved Stalin.
22:15 please make sure that the forward hatch is big enough for both of you to escape through for the worst case of scenarios, a fire in aft. There was a horrbible incident in California where scores of divers died at night due to a fire in the galley, and the older boat didn't have big hatches in sleeping quarters...
I remember that. What an awful terrible tragedy.
You two are quite the clever problem solvers. UMA is being re-born and will be a quiet beauty.
Consider placing one battery, perhaps a standard heavy-duty battery aft, high on aft bulkhead where it can be dedicated to your radio. Having your batteries in the bilge may be a problem if the containers in which the batteries are placed take on water. No more power, lights, radio, bilge pump. Need a battery high for emergency radio to call rescue. (Did this on fishing boats to protect crew in emergency) You are carrying a considerable amount of weight to starboard: head, dinette, galley and equipment plus two to four people at dinette. At rest in port you may have a slight starboard list.
Consider making the aft bulkhead portlight large enough to act as a pass-through in stormy conditions. Why open companionway in storm when coffee can be passed through.
Consider making the aft port berth sleeping a secondary option and perhaps place a fold-up table for computer on forward bulkhead in that area so can sit and do videos, plot courses and other things as prmary options. Not sure a berth is a good primary use.
There should always be redundancy on a boat! Totally agree about the battery situation, Id almost consider splitting them in half vs just moving one battery.
These are very good points, adding to it:
When water enters the Companionway, the timesheet looks cyrics would get fried if placed underneath the stairs.
Bilge pump battery should definitely be not in the bilge.
Dan has talked about what he called house batteries , 12v batteries topped up from the main battery bank that run the small electronics, when he was discussing the design of the catamarans they were sailing. He has mentioned them since. I’m sure they will come up again as the fit out proceeds.
Something to think about about the companion stairs: Maybe have a smaller door/opening you can reset and check the breakers and you don't have to open the whole staircase up.
Otherwise it really comes along but I can't wait for the last 20% - because they are the most interesting for me.
I try to instill in young people to have a conversation before you dive in, you prove me correct every week, conversation is the best starting point. The result of your conversation is amazing.
Boat builders should follow your channel to learn the better way. Thank you for having the fore thought to bring us along it has and will be the best.
Very nice tour, great design ! You will definitely have the finest Pearson 36 on earth 🌎 ❤
Wet locker location: very smart.
Agree, it’s perfect
Having read about a large hatch in sleeping quarters, seems like you would need life preservers there too in the event of a galley fire.
@@jennifershaw8951 hatch in v-berth would deff need to double as an emergency exit if ever needed
I am watching from Korea. We are traveling in a camper van and will soon challenge ourselves with sailing on a yacht. The Sailing Uma channel has been a great help for our challenge.
quarter berth!! That's what we call ours after turning 1/2 of it into a garage
Regarding batteries,
If one places weight higher than just above the keel, the boat will be more comfortable, and not be jerky while the boat goes towards zero heeling.
That jerky motion (caused by fast acceleration and deacceleration) makes one seasick.
If you insist on placing batteries just above the keel consider installing a small (20 Ah?) LiFePO4 battery for emergency use. It's going to be the backup power supply for VHF, and LED lights. You might want to have a switch board in order to control how much electricity is used.
Why?
If things are going South, it t really sucks not to be able to communicate with someone, and also not to be able to see anything.
I can't imagine how loud the original pilot berth must have been when the factory-installed diesel was running.
You would need proper ear pro for sure.
@@SailingUmaYou are being scammed by ag1. Dude is a criminal.
A project like this falls under what I call the 90 90 rule. The first 90 percent of the project takes the first 90 percent of the time and the last 10 percent takes the other 90 percent of the time. I’m looking forward to seeing it all come together.
You two are amazing and Uma 2.0 is going to be unstoppable. ❤❤🤗💯👍🤩
why? this boat is being built to a very low standard
Thank you for taking the time to go through what you have done and a high level overview of what you have to do! Looking forward to seeing how the boat is once she back the water! All the best!
You guys are the real deal. Always looking forward to your next vlog.
Congratulations, your boat is looking spectacular, we look forward to seeing it finished.
It's a 50 year old boat. New designs are spectacular.
Dude Im 71 and have been drinking AG1 for a year. and your right on with normal bowel movements. Lol
But i still like my coffee in the morning.I just dont drink a second cup.I'm going to live to 100.Definitely be here for the finishing touch's on UMA
I am curious if you could mix ag1 in the coffee 🤔 to be honest quitting coffee for me had more to do with the terrible headaches i got and the groggy mornings. My grandma is 97 and she has her super strong haitian coffee every single day. So I think you are ok. :)
@@SailingUma I like ag1 by it self.But i have mixed it with blackberries and blue berries. I have been watching you two since you did the first refit of UMA.Keep it up .Be kind and be safe .Have a great day
I find it very interesting how you rebuild a boat.
I also follow other RUclips channels of people owning their own boat and living on it. It seems like this is the year for most of the full time boaters to upgrade their boats 🚢⛵ by fixing them up like you to are, building and buying a new one, just doing a deal cleaning, or finding a salvage boat from a hurricane storm an fixing it up.
Or selling the boat and moving onto a farm! Are you following Free-range too? They are good.
For ventilation you could take a look over at the Durcell Project, they just completed a Dorade design.
Am I the only that thought Dan sounded like he forgot to take his retainer out?
First video I saw was the original boat tour!
This makes us so happy!
The forethought you guys put into this not refit but complete redesign is outstanding. With it being so compartmentalized, it would take a torpedo to sink Uma. The finished product is going to be beautiful and I am looking forward to seeing you two go sailing.
Has anyone else noticed a change in Dan’s speech over the past several videos? I noticed it months ago, like he has some sort of lisp. There’s something different about his S sounds that I don’t think was there back when they were sailing before they hauled out for the refit. It seemed more pronounced in this video. Hope all is well with him!
Really enjoying watching the biggest boat project yet - it’s at the fun part now where we see it slowly come together.
@Gremlin65 That makes complete sense. Thanks!
I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else said something about that or if it was just me lol he seems more flamboyant, too! Love them tho!
Invisalign?
@Gremlin65 I had noticed it and guessed dental work -- he sounds like I did after I got a bunch of work done. Good to know it's confirmed and nothing bad.
Definitely Invisalign or some other appliance. If it’s Invisalign why wouldn’t he just take it out while filming?
So much thought has gone into everything! Really interested what you all figure out for the hard to access former Hefty Susan dead space. You will love your location for the hanging locker, really perfect. Will it have some of its own ventilation? So glad you are draining the chain locker overboard, is there are one way valve or something else to prevent water from coming in? Living with a 65 yo wooden boat that won't be changed, seeing you all completely rethink the interior is just fabulous.
The drain will just be small and above the waterline. Rain and spray will drain out. Maybe a tiny bit of water will get in when we punch through a wave, but will drain quickly. It's pretty common practice.
Just a thought about the Hefty Susan...how about a two stage Mini-Hefty Susan. One stage floating above the lower. Upper would spin to allow storage compartment to be moved to the back and lock there while reaching down into the lower spinner compartment through a comfortable sized opening in the top spinner. To support the weight of the top spinner might take heavy duty central bearings along with rollers to run along the top edge of the lower spinner. The lower spinner would need same heavy duty central bearings but on the bottom side you could install many more ball rollers to support it all as long as you have a flat, solid, durable surface for them to roll.
I'm certain that all of us watching are looking forward toward the completion of your build-out. Your architechts' skills have come through, clearly, every step of the way. But I can't wait to see the finished product! Okay...I'll wait. 🤔
We removed the microwave from our boat a few years ago and have not missed it at all. One less electrical appliance we really didn't need. Enjoying your videos!
As long as you stay motivated, that's what counts. Little by little you'll get it done
Are you planning on painting the bilge and sides of the hull? I have and it really helps seeing things and keeping the area clean. I used a paint used in Chicken coops. Bright white and nothing sticks to it!
Tell us your secret. I need some coop paint anyhow.
@@ranchosinnombreannjimmy8427 Many years ago i painted the inside of the bilge. A friend min’s father ran an egg farm. By using a paint that is used in chicken coops nothing would stick to it. Apparently when they needed to clean a coop’s walls all they did was take a hose to it and anything on the wall would just rinse off. In the case of the boat any water in the bilge would be pumped out. Any debris would be pumped out. Nothing ever stuck. It is like a bright enamel paint.
Look forward every week to the new updates ... great job you two ... 👌
The only thing I like about AG1 is when they tried to recruit Sam Holmes and he said it tasted like pond water, and threw it away.
I am not going to fault them for taking sponsorship money but it’s annoying seeing AG1 spots in EVERY SINGLE sailing channel I follow (so far, not Tally Ho, thankfully) - kinda funny you mentioned that because I watched them drink it in this episode and thought “But is it *really* that good?”. Glad they can be easily skipped.
@@bdshort the Tally Ho crew would at least make a funny ad for it. But this swill shouldn't be associated with anyone. Nobody needs money THAT bad.
Are you planning to add limber holes in the stringer reinforcing to allow any water to find its way to the bilge? The oceanvolt looks like a horseshoe crab. RE: storage behind the two hanging lockers. I think you are going to invent something clever in order for those spaces not to be "lost forever". Maybe the hanger bar can swing out of the way, or swing into the hall? As Adam Savage says anything that isn't available at first level is lost.
Ha! He obviously doesn't live on a boat ;)
I agree everything finds its way to the sink! Saying this maybe a large built in bowl of sorts would be a useful feature. LOL
@16:45 Passageway, or Pway. No hallways on a boat Matey! 😃
When I compare this to the older refit, you guys are doing great. Enjoying the process again.
Bulk heads by the bulk in that ship.
This boat is going to be as stiff as a wedding pr**k
Great to see in practice what you've designed and all makes 100% sense except my only concern I have is having your main electrics under the companionway. There is just the law of sod that if you ship some green into the boat is will find its way into your power distribution. Clearly the shower is Kika sized and Dan will have to bend to use the shower but the whole boat has head room limits and you have to make use of what you've got. Looking forward to seeing the ongoing build also realised where you are in Sardinia and have anchored off a few years ago by Isola Tavolara on 1st night when chartering from Portisco. Classic area. Enjoy!
May I suggest you incorporate a whole house vent fans. Ihe fan could be mounted in the rear water tight compartment. It would be vented out a Dorad . They are pulling fans so it draws fresh air through each open vents or port lights. We use ours 70% of the time and a/c when nothing,else will help. Best of luck guys.
Yes, we have a question from Black Mold “Hey, where’s my space??? I used to have 20SQM of area conveniently located next to everything and completely private/inaccesible. Now I have nothing but maybe a temporary spot in the bilge!"
Love it. A boat without creeks would be amazing
I agree on galley layout ,, I try to talk my customers how the workflow works better for the ones that do the cooking. That also opens the leftover areas with more space ideas. Like a ping pong table or jacuzzis JKing .. The forward bulked header ? not integrated with left & right ?? great info guys
what about a folding staircase? i see those in the tiny home designs...or would that make getting in and out quick too dangerous? cant wait to see the final build! so wild its been a year already
yep....you've done some amazing stuff and planning to do amazing stuff but what I'm loving is the window at the sink and the overhead hatch for venting that kitchen. You can probably go large and still be good for offshore rough sailing.
I know you guys have put a lot of thought into the design and it shows. It is starting to come together! I'm really looking forwards to when your refit is complete. Then, you get to do the shakedown cruise which should be fun.
Can't wait to see it come together. You guys did an amazing job on the last version, and now Uma is going to be even better.
Though not as good as a new boat would be.
@@internetposta7389 It will be better because it is exactly how they want it.
@@mikesheahan6906 It won't actually. They can't change the hull design. There's a reason why they don't build 50 year old designs anymore. They also don't have th ability to do things that a real shipbuilder would.
First time we took our '84 C-Dory powerboat out for a weekend we got rained on - in the V-berth from condensation inside the boat. I decided that was NEVER gonna happen again and the short story is that after quite a bit of research I ended up with ceramic microspheres that we added to an enamel paint. Two coats was all we did - I'd probably do four now - but the next time we went out there was NO f-n condensation at all inside the boat in the morning. When I posted my results in an owner's forum I put up with all kinds of folks who said that any insulation that thin simply couldn't work - except for those who used it with the same kind of results. Having watched all of your videos I believe you're pretty objective in your research, but be aware that ceramic microspheres as insulation is a tad controversial. I'll drop it here rather than boring everyone with the details of our experience, how to mix properly, and who makes it; you'll figure that out on your own. I really liked that the insulation didn't protrude into the space - just a couple of coats of thickened paint - and wasn't a glued-on or sprayed-on foam, or vinyl or fabric headliner taking up extra space and falling off over time. All I can say is that it worked surprisingly well for us and given your penchant for combining high function with excellent aesthetics it might be a reasonable approach for y'all.
All the best,
Tom Herrick
AG1 please go away

@@user-us6ii2ph2q Do a google search there is a heap of evidence especially about the founder of the company....
It's all so exciting to see Uma coming together which means seeing you back in the water is that much closer. I'd recommend having a small dehumidifier on board. Makes such a difference and prevents the build of mould😊
First comments are always … weird to say the least. Love your plans, the best 36 foot design by far and everything accessible! Look forward to the build and your progress now is really rapid! High five for the 4 weeks!
Thank you for the update boat tour, looking forward to seeing the progress continue! Love your channel!
can the nook be a nursery? love you guys, you keep me young!
WHAT? Not a bat cave? I actually laughed out loud with that comment.
Just imagine how lovely and quiet it's going to sail! It will be awesome knowing it's got real strength in the hull as well. Exciting times!
Why have water tanks when you could have a bladder? Could put it over the keel and be able to drain/remove as needed. Plus, easier to pull and clean periodically.
I expect to be floored again, next week.
Please, round any corners when coming down the companion way. If you have that hard edge on the countertop an accident is bound to happen.
My thoughts as well, especially around the galley
Will you be putting some type of drain in the wet locker? ~Love, Patti and Steve
It's truly incredible what you managed to achieve with the original vessel, all of these upgrades are going to turn it into some kind of super boat.
Thrilled with what you are doing here. I know its a long ways off, and the process is enjoyable, but I cannot wait to see Uma 2.0 in the water.
I'm happy to see the progress and design elements going into the refit. However, I am curious why you chose the same susceptible organic materials you just spent so much time removing, especially on your bulkheads and other structural elements?
It's okay to use wood as a trim or surface material. Those areas would at least have access to air circulation and it's easier to maintain. I know you understand the dangers and complications of moisture intervention. It's inevitable moisture will always be an ongoing issue on a boat. With any organic material, the likelihood of there being an eventual issue with rot, mildew, or mold is almost a certainty. Between humidity, condensation, mist, or just sea water getting into the hull, it would make sense to take as many precautions as possible.
You started with as clean of a slate as you could ask for. Why not take advantage of it to maximize the structural integrity while also assuring greater long-term safety and reliability with a non-porous (rot, mildew, and mold-resistant) material like Coosa or something similar? I realize it's more expensive, but you only have to do it once and the peace of mind would be well worth the added cost, IMHO.
Two comments, since you are sealing your electric motor, how will you vent it? I am not sure if it is necessary on a boat. Second, put a fan or some time of heater in your wet gear locker. You can also put a heater on the outside of it. Just a thought.
Small ceiling fan , ( solar & battery) in the wet closet.
No cost ventilation.
Suck out of closet and cabin moisture gone.
Needs a open port or vent to outside
Spray foam is nasty, and it absorbs moisture. It also takes up more space. The EV foam tiles are my choice. Easy, relatively inexpensive, durable... I would even lay them on the floor but not stick them down.
Hey guys, cool space. Sten Ekberg is a former Olympian now a holistic Doc with a RUclips channel, mostly Keto and related stuff, 100's of vids. Check out his advice on Strawberries. I noticed they were part of your morning smoothie. Your explanations on prosses is top shelf.😊

Bravo Zulu 🎉 👏 🎉
keep up the good work! I'm ready to go sailing!
They'll be close to a year before they're sailing on thissss. Hopefully they'll have the bracessss out by then.
And leave the ag1 behind
I was a bit worried when you were talking about floor insulation, but then I realized that it was going to be above the bilge and far away from any water down there that you wouldn't have to worry about soggy insulation and resulting mold. So it would all depend on a cushioned (floating floor..which would likely squeak) or a solid pop in pop out to check bilge. What I'm trying to address is the underside of your floor could do well with a layer of spray cork and the top with a layer of insulated board flooring . That way your toesees would stay nice and warmsees and as the old saying goes 'feet warm, body warm'. Most of us land lubbers aren't affected by the amount of cold coming from the ground, but in a vessel the ocean is constantly sapping away heat inside of the vessel. Keep up the great work.
I spent the day on my boat. My boat is a ketch, with its masts on tabernacles, so I can raise and lower them singlehanded, using the onboard winch.
My plan was to replace four of my dyneema shrouds, that I'd spliced a bit short over the winter, remove my old lazy jacks, install the check blocks for the lazy jacks for my new stack packs, raise the masts, then install the stack packs, so I could bend the sails tomorrow.
What I got done?
Replacing the shrouds, removing the old and installing the new lazy jacks, and raising the main mast. Raising the mizzen mast and installing the stack packs is tomorrow.
Everything always seems to take twice as long as I thought it would.
Maybe, Sunday, I'll be be bending the sails. Unless, of course, the weather fails to cooperate.
Quite the achievement, guys. Amazing how much those bulkheads have improved the sound inside, too.
Could a miniature guest cabin space be called a cabinette? :D
Wow, a lot of engineering and thought went into this build, very impressive! Are you going to put in your wood stove? What colors and fabrics do you think you'll use?
i‘m really surprised to see AG1 still sporting videos. I thought there are enough „AG1 exposed“ videos on youtube.
Content is great as every time ❤
Good to hear you are going to insulate, glassing over foam is good in galley and cabin where shelves and small bulheads are also needed. Hope you can add ventilation. Trickle fans are often used in buildings nowadays, a great way to prevent mould.
I would consider a fold up pipe berth below the camera/computer area, like 'Sailing NV', you can adjust the angle to suit the heel of the boat. Really useful if you have an additonal crew member on passage.
Amazing visual progress in 4 weeks... well done you 2! It's great looking at your 3D modelling and then seeing it all play out per the plan, as well as your thought behind resource use - large bulkheads first and the use of off cuts for smaller items. What's with the water in the bilges after so much time on the hard?
The water is from the drain of the AC. The hole we drilled in the bilge isn’t totally at the bottom, so some water stays in there.
I have been looking at moving my forward hatch or changing it's size. So I looked it up to see if there were any standards about hatches. Turns out there are and the reason we have hatches is purely fire egress. The idea is you should not have to pass any flame driven appliance, engine or galley to get out of the boat. It seems that 18inches is minimum for a round or square hatch and a rectangular hatch should be at least 14 in. across the lowest measurement. (I guess they assume the longer dimension is at least 18 in. though it is not stated) So light is nice, ventilation is nice but they are not the reason we have hatches and those who put a dinghy over top of their hatch (I have seen some) have nullified the reason for the hatch in the first place (Fire). Your motor is already aft of the main hatch and while it does not run by combusting anything (thumbs up), it does use enough power to start something burning. I don't know what kind of stove you will use but again, even electric stoves can get hot enough that things catch fire (been there). Fire place, diesel heater.... I may have reason to move my hatch (or add a second) just for that. Funny thing is the standard does not include making sure a person can actually get to the hatch..... This, in my case would be another good reason to move our hatch. LifePo4 batteries generally don't burn, but I have had batteries that read 0v start on fire when thrown in the garbage just from a short (back in those NiCad days), so again, just the available power is a fire hazard on it's own. Note: this is not a "your doing it wrong" comment. So far it looks like you have it all covered even if inadvertently ;) The layout is nice and looks very workable. I like the access to the bilge part... our boat is three FG parts: the hull, the interior and the deck. Where most boats have a wood sole and other furniture added after the fact, ours is a mostly single FG piece. I am going to have to cut some of the FG sole out for my own ideas.
There's an expensive closet dehumidifier called a Goldenrod. Looks like a 2' long gold tube with a power cord sticking out one end. Long sold on the US boating market. You put it on a closet floor and it gently creates warm air, to circulate upwards and keep the closet dry.
I am amazed at how fast it seems to be coming together.. Can’t wait for the next steps. It will be beautiful and functional it seems. Cheers!!!!
Great job so far! You have done a wonderful job making UMA work like you want her to, and your workmanship is incredible. BTW, I am a retired naval architect/marine engineer.
A very comprehensive description of your layout,thank you.Cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
Thanks guys, that was a fun episode. Real sense of progress. Laid out as you want and total access, what a novel idea!
Truly amazing, in only 4 weeks you have installed the bulkheads! Love the layout, especially the shower area, should be amazing and contoured to your lifestyle. Thanks for including your smoothie recipe, we have been using AG1 for years. Best with the refit!
By moving the main sleeping quarters forward, you gain space, privacy, lighting and ventilation. Now further to the helm, more slamming/rolling/pitching in rough seas, increased noise from the chain locker and mast. Insulation and sealed bulkheads will be paramount. Good density mattress to absorb vibrations. Adequate insulation for sound deadening and reducing vibration. The ribs with stringers and the bulkhead redesign have already improved the stiffness. Quiet zone, escape room.
Copious amounts of ventilation, adequate air exchange rates and dilution are key to reducing mold. Insulation to minimize temperature variation, transfe and condensation. Addressing those issues in the head, wet locker and galley. Air conditioner, dehumidifier, vents, fan(s) location(s) and size, type of painted surface for cleaning all add up. Each of those 3 main areas will have its own, unique challenges.
Heating - diesel, wood, electric space heaters, propane? Single or multiple? Air conditioning - small, portable, affordable dual units or single units?
Galley will be the main working, cooking and entertaining area. So more comfort, accessibility and ergonomic issues whilst cramming as much storage spaces as possible.
You have created a nook or safe space for a guest. Will they feel comfortable and private or claustrophobic?
Great vision for UMA!!!!
Looks like a great plan.
Spray foam is great but super messy. If you use foam board then you can also dig out tracks to hide wires. Then fill that in and fiberglass it for durability.
Thanks for the constant inspiration, maybe we’ll see you guys at an anchorage one day 🫡🙏
I would put in a couple 1 to 1.5-inch empty conduits in the length of the boat for easy future upgrades. You know that as tech advances, you are going to want to add on things. I've watched you struggle more than once trying to figure out how to run new wires.
This is exciting!!! Remember way back to the early epsidoes... Uma 5.0 is looking awesome!!
Awesome episode love seeing the progress!
Love watching you all for so many reasons! You could definitely give a master class on creating compelling content no matter what the topic…. now on to my request! Could you do a video on your planned power system! Would love to know what all you’re doing for power generation and management!
I just bought a Cape Dory 27 that has the entire cabin removed. Luckily I have all of the old bulkheads. Your videos are going to be very helpful.
Side to side toilets are an adventure. Totally usable most of the time, as long as you're willing to brace yourself with your legs up in the air against the door while using the toilet.
Put a blower fan into the wet locker with a timer.
I so excited to finally see fully rebuilt new version of Uma ^_^
14:25 drone gear. 😊
Great progress.
All the bulkheads etc makes me think of the RUclipser Sail life .. He does the best renovation videos
Mads is a LEGEND! Looks like he's back at it with the new Catamaran.
