What this video covers
The custom build of a one-off aluminum catamaran at Stradbroke Yachts requires extensive interior prototyping to resolve complex hull curves and storage layouts.13:35 Because structural blueprints lack interior detail, the crew uses cardboard scale models to visualize cabin dimensions, bed placement, and cabinetry before fabrication.0:41 In the guest cabin, the team lowers the bed height from 60 centimeters to 50 centimeters to increase headroom and modifies the bunk shape to improve ergonomics and floor space.10:51 Fabrication involves installing interior framing, building bed supports, and mounting roof panels using a rivet-and-epoxy fast-mount system on longitudinal steel rails.21:44 The process requires constant adjustment to accommodate fixed components like the galley oven, which protrudes into the guest cabin space.3:58 Creating custom interior joinery for a hull with non-standard, changing angles necessitates iterative design and on-site problem-solving to maximize storage and livability.7:10 Visualizing interior spaces at scale before finalizing structural panels prevents design errors and ensures efficient use of limited cabin volume.5:45
