What this video covers

Javi, host of the 38-foot Aragosa 38 sailboat Regina, fabricated and installed two custom storage cabinets in the vessel’s interior.0:01 Inspired by the layout of the Dram, a sister ship built in the same Canadian shipyard, Javi designed the units to increase stowage space and visually separate the aft cabin and galley from the main saloon.2:09 He constructed the cabinets using lightweight spruce wood, noting that each unit weighs approximately 4 kilograms despite their substantial appearance.8:44 The cabinets are secured directly to the boat’s structural beams and bulkheads.4:49 Javi added decorative grab rails to the exterior of the units, which serve as additional handholds while underway.5:24 He utilized temporary hinges sourced from other areas of the boat while awaiting the arrival of specific American-style hinges ordered from eBay.7:06 The new storage features include interior lining and raised fiddles on the shelves to prevent items from sliding.7:19
