What this video covers

Johan and Malin continue the interior construction of their custom 50-foot sailboat, focusing on the layout of the galley and guest cabin. The design prioritizes an offshore-capable galley with the sink and stove positioned near the boat's centerline to maintain functionality while heeled.23:07 The galley features a half-island configuration and is situated beneath a deck salon, providing 2.8 meters of headroom in the central area.20:54 The guest cabin includes a 120-centimeter-wide bed and dedicated clothing storage, with ventilation provided by a fixed porthole and a deck hatch.1:19 Construction involves laminating fiberglass bulkheads using vacuum bagging techniques, followed by tabbing the components to the hull.8:06 The pair notes that interior spaces often feel smaller during the framing stage than they will once finished with interior materials.4:15 They emphasize that the current layout represents a compromise between cabin size, engine room volume, and salon space, which they consider the upper limit for a self-built project.3:50
