What this video covers

The 50-foot custom sailboat under construction by Johan and Malin features a narrow, easily driven hull with a 4:1 length-to-beam ratio, designed for efficiency under sail and engine.4:01 To ensure offshore safety and liveability, the design incorporates four watertight bulkheads that compartmentalize the vessel into a bow storage area, central living quarters, a dedicated utility room for engine and maintenance, and a separate rudder room.9:21 The boat utilizes a deckhouse configuration for high-latitude visibility and a 2.2-meter draft for stability.7:04 Recent interior modifications include shifting bulkheads to optimize flow and galley space, specifically shortening the salon sofa from 3.5 to 2.9 meters to accommodate a larger, centralized island kitchen with a dishwasher.19:07 The master cabin bed was repositioned to increase bathroom and galley volume, while the guest cabin was resized to a more functional 2-meter length.16:42 Construction focuses on weight reduction using PVC and PET foam for bulkheads and the deck.13:55
