What this video covers

Johan and Malin continue construction of their custom 52ft sailboat in a workshop in southern Sweden, focusing on the guest cabin interior.▶ 0:09 The process begins with ripping and planing cedar strips to match the hull's curvature, followed by the installation of electrical conduits and 19mm closed-cell adhesive insulation.▶ 0:40 Johan notes that high-quality hot glue is essential for securing conduits, as lower-grade alternatives fail to adhere properly.▶ 5:35 He fabricates a custom trim piece for the head of the bed using a router, requiring a two-step cutting process to achieve the necessary depth while maintaining structural integrity.▶ 10:49 After varnishing the trim, the team plans the cabin sole design, aiming to avoid the maintenance difficulties experienced with the floorboards on their previous NIAD 440.▶ 18:36 Using a laser level, they determine a sole height that balances ceiling clearance with floor surface area, settling on a height that provides 2050mm of headroom.▶ 20:35
