What this video covers
Johan and Malin continue the interior construction of their self-built 52-foot sailboat, focusing on the guest cabin and the head.▶ 0:27 Johan builds a closet and locker for the guest cabin, utilizing shaker-style doors constructed from teak.▶ 11:44 To ensure a quiet hull, the team glues the interior cabinetry directly to the hull rather than using mechanical fasteners.▶ 12:25 The guest cabin design includes a bed positioned for ergonomic bracing at sea, with plans to install electrical conduits for lighting and charging outlets.▶ 17:15 Beneath the guest berth, the design incorporates space for water or diesel tanks.▶ 20:21 Meanwhile, Malin begins tabbing in the head, taking advantage of rising spring temperatures that allow for epoxy work outside the barn.▶ 4:31 The team plans to finish the interior surfaces with a combination of teak strips and vinyl fabric, while continuing to refine the layout for navigation and ventilation.▶ 18:18
