What this video covers

A 40-foot sailboat, Nomad, features a custom galley layout designed for all-electric cooking, replacing the original three-burner gimballed stove with an induction cooktop and a sliding fridge.3:49 The induction cooktop includes ABYC-compliant pot holders to secure cookware against vessel motion.4:04 Storage modifications include a custom cutting board that provides access to previously unreachable under-sink space and the repurposing of a former icebox for dry storage.7:00 The galley utilizes a Breville AI oven for automated cooking, which requires adequate ventilation from surrounding cabinetry.5:29 Power management is critical, as simultaneous use of the induction cooktop and the oven can draw over 4,000 watts, requiring the lithium battery bank to assist the shore power supply.11:09 Minimalist kitchen organization is maintained by limiting utensils to essential tools and using lightweight titanium flatware and Snowpeak bowls.7:55 Successful boat living requires constant management of either fuel or electrical loads to support daily cooking.
