Your mom will be a skilled boatbilder when this project is finnished😊
She already is a skilled boat builder👌👍
It’s nice to see it’s the inspector doing its work at a distance, casting a critical eye down the boats lines.
I think that you can never have too much counter space in a galley. Thanks for sharing your adventure. 👏
Congrats on the successful water tank pressure test. The galley looks awesome.
Not sure why I started meowing at the first mention of inspection Hatch! CHEERS from HERE!
ha!
Nice looking galley. I understand the spring fever situation. Thanks for the video.😁😁😁👍👍
Its nice vto9 see the inspector still has time for a walk in the garden. Great update 2x👍
Nice to see Australia on the map in the workshop. Maybe you will visit here sometime when the boat is finished.
Heb ri dees. Pronounced with emphasis on first syllable with the RI pronounced as in the word rib. The Isle of Lewis is one of a string of islands which together are called the Outer Hebrides. They form the westernmost part of Scotland, apart from further West isolated island group of St Kilda out in the Atlantic.
The only way to correct for this gaffe is to sail Duracell to the Hebrides. 😅
Thanks, I realized while I was saying it that I had no idea how to say it.
Pronounced ,Hebradeeze. The "e " isn't pronounced "ee " as in ,as you Americans pronounce " Zeebra". But " e " as in " head ".😊
Outstanding!!! I believe that as big as it may seem now, it will shrink with time and components!!!
Im not a sailor, however I think that you need to incorporate a series of grab rails on that island/peninsula to assist anyone walking when you are under way. Love the video and music selection - its coming along! 🇨🇦 👍.
Yes. I recommend he takes a camera and goblook at other boats a take pictures of the interior. Reason, there may many things you want or need to incorporate into the boat that you have thought of.
Like safety, fire extinguishers. Easy access but out of the way sobyou don't bump into it. Fires on boats is no joke.
A place for life vest. Flare gun and emergency equipment. A tool and parts area. Plus ways to lock this down and strap in place so it doesn't rattle.
Thank you for sharing this with me. I just love what you’re doing to the boat.
Really cool to see the galley come together with the mock up. Before moving outside for a few episodes, maybe we could get a slow "yacht sales video" walkthrough of the interior? For those of us who watch every week it'd be fun to see a progress report now that it's taking shape.
Can't wait to see this thing in the water...
Your mum interjecting a little humour is nice. Just wow it’s an amazing project just to watch.
Congratulations on your achievements and love the captured atmospheric feeling of the area around Duracell .💖💖💖🇦🇺
the drilled holes in the foam should be square. If you drill a screw in it can slip that round form. if its square you would need way more force to overturn the screw.
If you use a hand sander without sandpaper on a towel or thick cloth next to those thickened Apoxee holes it’ll vibrate the second Apoxsee, like cement, making it stronger.
Way to go on the pressure test!
looks awesome, you've done a fantastic job
Looking fantastic! It has been a great project!
Hello from Pakistan. I’m not a boat guy per se, but I am a fan of building and fabricating. Hobby woodworker and car guy when I’m not working overseas. Have really enjoyed watching your build progress. Your videos are not only entertaining, but they help me pass the time and help keep me connected to home in the PNW. Looking forward to what’s next. Travis
Working outside comes with bullets it seems.
The first rule of counter space is there’s never enough counter space.
Beautiful filming in this video-wow!!
thank you project duracell! love watching this project.
17:21 You guys are hilarious!😂 ...he needs to go outside because he gets better signal from space outside 🤪
I love how everything on this project is well thought out and is done with a purpose. If all boat builders did this, boats would last forever.
Looks fab! I recommend a sturdy back splash on the port side of your counter: 1) stops stuff falling off the bench and 2) acts as a handhold when moving forward.
I think move to the outside, you got next winter to finish up the inside plus rainy days, but minimal time to work outside to get the outside work done. Love it keep it up, I love seeing the progress.
I like the galley. I think it will be practical at sea and ergonomic in port also. I assume you will add fiddles in some places so things won't slide off the counters at sea.
I would lose the overhang on the counters. You still have a lot of counter space, which is really nice. But remember what flat surfaces are like 1) they collect a lot of stuff and 2) when you're sailing stuff slides around a lot. It is easier to have stuff not slide so far. Of course you will have good fiddles on the counters. I like what you are doing Matt. It will definitely be a top flight boat.
yep, we're leaning that way too
@@TheDuracellProject Also good to remember the small person will have overhang at head height at some point so thinking about what it will be like at sea this is the right decision!
Beautiful work
Removable panal : tip, cut stainless tube the thickness of the panal. Glue tubes in the holes. When you bolt it down. It wont compress the panels. This saves a lot of time and works very well.
It looks awesome guys
Wow! Looks great!
Coming along nicely
Awesome as always.
Quick work, and it looks good.
Excellent work as always Matt.
The galley is coming out nicely. I think the overhang is a nice compromise for the bar area but I think I would prefer the bar. The overhang is like a standing room only bar for your guests.
Excellent job matt
What a big space in the boat!! Lovely 😍
LOOKING GOOD!
Great stuff Matt.
You are always such a pleasure to watch. Thank you
4’ headroom in a sailboat galley - you both are amazing to pull all this off. Thanks for sharing the journey 🙏
That is a proper size of galley. I guess with that size boat you can afford the space.
Most interesting project and I have followed this from the beginning. Stainless steel tanks are much better but you already know that. What about the quality of the water when staying in those tanks some weeks. I personally trust only steel tanks with big hatches so that one can clean them properly.
For all commenters who thought he pulled a vacuum on the water tanks, go back and look again from 4:20. He used the outlet side of his vacuum pump and got the tanks pressurized to a positive pressure of 1.5 psi. It was not a negative pressure (a vacuum). He commented that if that didn't work (which it did), he would use his air compressor.
Well done, Matt. Looking great. I would also eliminate the overhang on the galley countertops.
Aren’t you forgetting that he said, very clearly, that he is using the “output side of the pump” and that he hasn’t tried it before. All people have to do is listen to his words rather than look at which side of the pump he used. You can also see the pressure gauge rise.
When it comes to galleys, big is GOOD! Great design, Matt.
This is such a cool build! Keep up the great work!
I think it looks great. I like the layout 👍🏻
great job on the Galley, looking forward to seeing what your up to next !!
Work surfaces in the galley look fantastic!
Good job Judy, don’t know what Matt would do without you!
Looks great - I imagine a 1” overhang and fiddles for safety and traffic flow
Galley looks awesome, LOVE your mom and her cool dog!!
Looks great!
I like your layout,and the stove move,,Good job!!!
Awesome work with the water tanks, I'm glad you sort it out! The galley looks great, I know it's not the final counter top, but once it is finished with all of the appliances, looks like you'll have plenty of space to prepare delicious meals!
Looking good guys, I've enjoyed watching the progress keep up the good work 😎👍
My first “work” experience was fibreglass repair on a northern 26 that was dropped while being moved in a boatyard. Love your channel and decision making processes.
Regarding the pressure test. Keep in mind the head pressure of a water column is 0.433 PSI per foot of elevation. I’d test at more than 1.5PSI to ensure a larger safety factor.
The galley is looking so awesome!! And Janni, you're glowing!! Awesome episode!
thanks, TotalBoat :)
I just went back and watched episode #3. It was so inspiring. A great story...especially on Easter.
Matt, could you draw the sink in with a sharpie so we can see how much counter you’ll have around them? It’s looking really good and so are both of you and the inspector.😊
One camera angle the corner nearest the doghouse looked like a pinch point but then from another angle it looked fine. Once you start cutting holes in the countertop it won't look as big. Whatever you decide to work on next week we'll be here to watch. Thanks for the episode.
Maybe consider a hinged bar? Get the best of both worlds.
Spring fever is hard to get by. Would rather be outside than inside any day. Enjoyed the video as always. Stay safe guys…
Wow I'm 1000. Great to see all the work that you two have been doing.! Your Mom's help is pretty awesome too!
Hi Matt! The Isle of Lewis is at the top of the Outer Hebrides off Scotland's West Coast. A wee help with pronunciation... it's "Heb-ri-deez". The Isle of Harris, although part of the same landmass as Lewis is treated as a separate island. Luskentyre Beach on Harris is probably the UK's best! I've only been to the Isle of Barra, the southern most inhabited island of the chain. Like all the Hebridean islands, Inner and Outer, Barra is also a place of beauty. It boasts one completely unique feature. Namely, the only "scheduled airport" in the world which uses the beach at low tide as its runway! 😯 Quite the sight, seeing the wee Twin Otters coming in to land and taking off again! 😀
That cut with the circular saw was satisfying 👌
Excellent work and the beatifull part it’s a family project, wonderful communication and development 👍; GOD bless you all ❤
With respect to the amount of overhang on the inboard side of the galley countertop, I think I understand what you're going for in trying to create a surface that people can lean on while someone else is working in the galley, but from a practical standpoint, I think it might make the passage way to the forward accommodations a bit tight? Also, from an aesthetic standpoint, I think it would be more pleasing to the eye to have an overhang on the inboard side of that counter that matches the overhang on the inboard side.
Just my .02 cents. I love how things are coming together and will eagerly await next week's episode!
A CZcams channel called NoMad he does van builds with foam. He uses modified plastic drywall screw in anchors into foam with gorilla glue. Referring to the bushings
Looks great you should be very pleased with the result what a fun project
I love how you guys work together
Matt, your eye for detail is exemplary, I guess knowing the products you are working with so intimately helps heaps. Another awesome video
HI, what wonderful channel. The contrast between you guys and Sailing Yaba is fascinating. One using old style traditional methods and materials, the other using futuristic is great. Good luck to both builds.
Great results on the galley, size looks great, it’s a focal point on Duracell!
Thanks for the great video, your yard and nature shots with La Paws are a highlight
Hope everything is going great with the kiddo 👍
Great work guys 🇬🇧
From one camera angle the corner nearest the doghouse looked like a pinch point but from another angle it looked fine. Once you start cutting hole i Whatever you decide to work on next week we'll be here to watch. Thanks for the episode.
coming together Matt!!!!
Each Wednesday I eagerly await a new episode and each time I marvel at how your film making skills have progressed. Your storyline, the composition, the actors, and the sound track all combine to bring your story to life so beautifully. Oh yeah, and the boat is progressing rather nicely as well (that galley will be the heart of your saloon).
thank you :)
Thanks
Looking good. I'd remove the overhang on the walkway side of the galley top (where you originally thought of a 'bar'), extend the back up a bit to stop things on the counter top sliding off (or water from the sink going over on to the walkway)... and then you could put a hand hold on the upright end as you come into the galley area.
I like the handhold idea
Well done solving the leaks of the water tanks you built a nice galley although the bar looks big I suggest you try it with a temporary floor which should give you a good idea how it would look 😊😊
The large kitchen is interesting, but I find it somewhat confined. It will be a long way to move to places in front of the kitchen. An opening in the middle leg would provide alternative walkways and space to get out of the way when more people are staying in the kitchen. Maybe the sofa corner feels a little cramped. But the volume in the room is absolutely fantastic. Jag önskar er en glad påsk!
Hi mat , you can fit a small alen key in your drill and use it as a fly cutter, no need to hole saw just tape the bottom side and inject thin resin , on a vertical panel you tape both sides and drill a hole at the highest point . I have even used this method on balsa core . The lids on your water tanks are impressive. I confess it looked like you were planning to fit plastic screw caps . I personally wouldn’t have joined the upper and lower tanks no matter what . A heavy see will test your wisdom . love the show cheers
I think you guys are doing awesome work and having solid progress. Thing takes time, but the reward afterwards is worth waiting for. Keep it up! I think the counter top overhang will disappear after a while. Maybe there will be an edge sticking up instead. Possibly something you can grab onto as well. That will come in handy when the boat is leaning over to port
Finishing the galley now, will give you a lot of satisfaction, and serve as a design clue for the rest of the interior. Push ahead now and enjoy the summer finishing the exterior outside. On the subject of the countertop size, you said yourself it feels a bit too big. It looks from the footage, like the pathway is too narrow, but you have a lot of overhang you can reduce, as I´m sure you plan to do.. Great project!
Been waiting all day for this 🤠
Looks great 😊
The gally is looking very cool. I think it's right to "live" with it a while and then decide from there what needs altering, if anything at all. I am very much looking forward to a shift to outside working. Thanks for the video Matt and that baby bump is really staring to show. I wonder what the "inspector thinks of it" Soon to be a nanny as well as part time inspector.
Oh, casting threads!! Cool.
Have a tiny tiny tiny spring fix on my x-102 after thieves broke in last year and broke my hinges and hatch stops on the main entrance.
If i do something in stainless i guess more will be broken if thieves tryes again. Could be easy just to clean up the mess and cast new threads 🤔
Wow always enjoy your project kinda never want it end. New Zealand 🇳🇿.
I woke up to a fresh episode. Looks like I’m getting up late today!.
Looking forward to the outside projects. I can't wait to see how you choose to restore the mast. Bare aluminum with clear coat or paint. I'm sure there will be lots of chatting about it.😁⛵
oh yeah, there will be :)
Looking great
Looks awesome!!! Is that a handle by the freezer?
When you have a large multifaceted project I think it’s good to go on to some other facet. It helps cut down the burnout that you are feeling about the galley. I’ve been involved with large industrial projects and fortunately have had to flexibility to move from one task that I was tired of and concentrate on another for a bit. When I got back to the original project I saw it with fresh eyes and that almost always helped the burnout.
Talking about your mom , she is a real blessing for,the both of you , looks good keep,it up
i agree man, yes the interior is important to get finshed but the conditions outside is just asking for outdoor work
