Removing cabin sole and main bulkhead from the sailboat. 

At least I try to be ;)

Thank you for keeping me on the right track!

That's one possibility. Often there are more than one solution to the problem. Thanks!

Thank you for watching and commenting! I stopped counting the hours long ago :)

Thanks! I am lucky to have the shelter to build the boat, indeed!

I know the feeling :) Thank you for watching and don't forget your drinks ;)

Thank you for watching and thinking along!

That's really encouraging! Thank you for commenting!

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting. I had to google the quote of Leia, but I know now what you meant :D

The hull and deck of the OE36 are very good. Sloppy work was done afterwards by several owners during many modifications.

That's exactly what I thought, thank you for your comment. Greetings to France!

Yes, there's a lot to do!

You're right, the OE36 hulls and decks were built in the boatyard (but by the owners, under yard's supervision), the rest was finished (unfinished) by the owners. The idea to replace these bulkheads (floor frames?) in the keel pocket with longitudinal beams is interesting. Can you shed some more light what's behind the idea?

@@sailingsmalldreamingbig9022 Yes, it might sound a bit fuzzy and it's hard to describe in words, unfortunately I don't have any pictures which would have been better. But you have the greatest movement in the keel pocket in the turn where the keel meets the bottom, you better stiffen the keel up with a longitudinal beam on both sides right in the turn. You can also make an addition with two to three beams across between the leeward ones, but these do not have to go all the way down to the keel sole. I usually make molds into which I cast these parts, which I then saw to fit. As a rule, you get a crimp that causes the sides to creep in so they become a little narrower down towards the hull, which gives room for laminate when you laminate them firmly against the hull. These beams also serve as a base for the colanders.

@@kjell-ovekarlsson8965 Besides something for straining pasta or other foods, what's a colander in terms of boat-building?

This idea is haunting me. On one hand I could live without doing it, on another hand it would be nice upgrade to the interior

Thank you for the comment! Yes, the project is moving forward and there is a lot of video material to go through

Thank you! Ideas and suggestions are always welcome!

Much easier to watch the others struggle :D

Thank you :)

Hello Kristian! I've read your blog (more than once), saved some photos, etc. And yes, I know the Swedish OE club. I purchased the book about OE36 and received some good info when I bought her. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Great, Your idea of getting some more space by the nav station and sacrificing a little in an already huge cockpit is really a very good idea. Must admit that I never thought about that. Having the design I did with a quarter berth on both port and sby side did really improve the volume and airiness below and the kitchen turned out to be working quite well. I would install an opening portlight into the cockpit from the quarter berths since this gives nice air and light. If you think about changing the windows in the saloon remember that these must align with the coachroof and not the deck, a lot of people has made a mistake there when installing the windows and it will never look right. About cored balsa, it is a mess and I did develop a system drying it out with microwaves that worked fantastically, do not remember if that is mentioned in the blog.. Your boat will be fantastic and she sails really old fashioned great!

I would build a composite buldhead in the boat, in one piece, then put venear on it, if you want wooden feeling.

The original bulkhead was made in 3 pieces, connected with rabbet joints. I made it differently but this will be revealed in the future episodes

Thank you for your comment. So many coincidences ;) The bike you spotted is actually a DR800 Big, a bigger cousin of DR650. About the boat and evaluation. Well, I pretty much knew that I bought myself a many years worth of work. I'm not new to boats nor sailing. And once you've started it's not easy to quit any more :) So I carry on

@@sailingsmalldreamingbig9022 These classics are worthy and will once again be great sailing boats. My S&S is truly a special boat to sail. Good luck with the project.

Thank you! There's a lot of work but it's somewhat satisfying mostly
