OCSS-049 Swing Stove for My Mini-Cruiser Sailboat

[@chapter4travels]

In a long project like this, it's nice to have something you can start and finish in a short time frame. Feels like progress.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Precisely.

[@SvenYrvindExlex]

Good that you have a named Galley. Do you not think that you need something to prevent the pot from sliding off when the boat is hit by waves? If it is boiling hot things in the pot. A friend of mine got boiling waters in his boot.

[@pointnemo72]

I was wondering the same thing. A small adjustable cage from stainless steel would probably be a good direction. Perhaps a better salutation would have been lowering the stove below the swinging shelf's bottom. By cutting out a hole the size of the stove and mounting it below. Not only would it reduce the top heaviness when pots or on it, but also move a lot of the weight lower down. Making the swinging action more stable. Either way, it's always easy to modify something later on, after you've seen how things behave in normal use.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Yes, thank you. I will add something.

[@felixcat9318]

The meticulously precise attention to detail and superb craftsmanship that have become a byword for your build are evident throughout this video! Having a dedicated galley area will be particularly welcome at sea and with good ergonomics this compact, uncluttered addition looks just about perfect.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Jeez, thank you man, I think I'm a preddy mediocre wood craftsman but I appreciate it. I think I'm going to enjoy my little dedicated galley area.

[@TheMadSqu]

Lucky man! :) Great work on your galley and hats off for continously improving your channel! Hope your thumbnail gets viral :D

[@DavidD6969]

That will be a very nice add on .. nicely done 👍

[@papounet4842]

Pretty good job ! You might consider a jetboiler for safety in rough conditions. The guys racing in mini 650 (and even larger boats) all use the jetboiler hanging on a sort of bungie cord up and down. Just good enough to have warm water to put in a freezed dryed meal but it's better than having to use Biafine !!!

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

On a bungee cord? Interesting! I've seen their little jet-boil gimballed setups.

[@michaelgillespie6526]

Nice touch with the "Galley" sign! The deckhands will be able to find their victuals! 🤣 Am really enjoying this build, your adaptability to the problems of scale intrigue me enough to start thinking smaller really is better.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Awesome, thank you! I can't imagine if I was building something any bigger... lot of work.

[@sdcofer52]

Don't forget to add the flameproof fiddles to the alcohol stove to keep that pot of water from flying off the burner when you're rocking and rolling on your way to Hawaii.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thank you I will be sure to add something for that.

[@jpmesa]

Great simple design. You might want to add some counter weight on the bottom to ease the swing when on the water. Keep up the good work.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thank you, nice tip 💡. I'll test it out and it shouldn't be too hard to add weight if needed.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Very nice work on the galley. Not much to add to the comments below concerning pot holders and additional gimbaling so I'll just mention that I got my T-shirts in the mail earlier this wee and they are very nice quality. Recommend everyone buy one. Have a great weekend ahead Captain.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Great to hear! Thanks.

[@CopperCreekCuts]

Nicely done sir! Hope the inaugural cook on it comes swiftly!

[@floydgraves3997]

I love it!! Graet project and well thought through. I would only make a few changes if I were to build one for myself. Those changes have to do with ease of clean up, longevity, and minimizing maintanace. 1). I would eliminate all the interior glue strips and replace with fillets, for ease of cleaning, I feel it will be difficult to keep the 90 degree corners clean. 45 degree wood strips could accomplish the same thing. 2). I would epoxy all the wood before assembling the tray. 3) I would epoxy and fiberglass both the interior and exterior with the lightest and easiest cloth to work with. this would add strength and longevity. 4). I love the color you painted it... but if possible I would use a 2 part epoxy paint. This would eliminate maintenance for a long long time, and making clean up easier too.

[@malymichas]

New mic? You sound superb! Good work, Captain.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thanks. No it's just my same ol' $15 clip on mic.

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@MrRombie]

Great video this week! The video editing and presentation is really good. Definitely enjoyed the dry fit edit. Keep up the great work Perry!

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Very kind! Thank you. 🍍

[@martineisenschmied435]

Nicely crafted. The swinging gimble set up should work well. You might also need pot keeper arms to keep the kettle from sliding off in a sea way.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Definitely. Thanks for watching.

[@kens2114]

Might consider adding some fiddles to hold your pots on the stove, good safety feature. Looks good, like the colour, cheers

[@todmills]

On such a small boat, the motion is likely to be such that bona fide pot clamps would be in order.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

I agree, looking for a good idea on how to make them.

[@curtishill6490]

Hey Perry🙋‍♂️ love how she's turning out. A galley in a 14 ft boat is luxury 😁😑sending well wishes from cloudy Cape Cod🙏👍💯

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Yes indeed, Sir. Thanks 👍

[@brianmurphy4404]

Great job...cant wait to see your diy potholders

[@Abc-kf4qx]

Love your can do attitude and ingenuity when tackling a project. Question: pot holder ( gonna need it regardless of the swinging platform), and non skid material ( ie silicone mat) under the stove and dishes, you’ll need those too. Thoughts?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thank you. I agree I'll need both eventually.

[@boooshes]

I'd say this is one of your better videos. One possibility to consider would be to have, in addition to pot clamps, some extension inserts that would ensure that any spillage (say from a boiling pot) would be contained in the 'galley'. For pan cooking, these would just stay in storage or have some other use. Maybe they could hinge up from the short sides? Anything to prevent a lap full of boiling water in the middle of the Pacific.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

hmm, yes. Burning and electrocution are my nightmares. I've so far avoided them (along with broken bones) all my life *knock on wood.

[@boooshes]

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat at least after a proper electrocution there's no more worry or pain. A lap full of boiling water is a whole other situation.

[@boooshes]

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat another thing I meant to mention was to consider modifying your gimbal to two axis system. For a small vessel, the motion can be just as extreme in pitch and roll. It looks like you may have room (height wise) to add another gimbal axis. I do realize it's all just added convenience, but those niceties could really boost your spirits on a long trip.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Nice job. Will you add some pan clamps to keep the kettle on the stove?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Yes, looking for a good idea on how to make them.

🍍Thank you for watching! 🤩Please subscribe by clicking this link: kzbin.info 👍⛵🍐 Check out the updated T-shirt design here: bonfire.com/ocean-capable-small-sailboat-1 Any good ideas on how to DIY some pot holders on this stove for my pot and kettle? Let me know in the comments please!

[@todmills]

A (or two) metal rod (s) whose ends pivot about an axis on either side of the burner so that there is a sort of clamshell that captures the pot on the stove. A latch can hold it together over the pot. Was hoping to see a cooking segment as shown in the thumbnail. Feel slightly conned.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

I'll see if I can get a cooking segment in a future vid, she's pretty camera shy.

[@bradg7279]

Really enjoyed this video! You're going to enjoy your boat immensely having made everything yourself. If you ever sail her to New Zealand..Auckland..look me up. Might come in useful.

[@DavidJones-ex6pi]

Awesome work as always Perry! Dave from Canada

[@Garryck-1]

This is an Algorithm Booster! ⛵

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

Excellent job! It (and you) could benefit from a very simple upgrade, Perry. If you made a 'hole' in the middle of the base, with a second swing platform in the transverse direction, then the stove should stay perfectly level no matter what's going on around it.

[@markpurnell7437]

That was my immediate thought too when it was swinging at the end. When the boat pitches you want it to swing fore and aft too. (I know, I was simply saying the same thing)

[@stevelehmann2368]

Nice video Perry. Fiddles are a must and I would suggest some sort of locking mechanism for when is not in use.

[@diogod1801]

Great job, Captain!

[@nasseemmuttur778]

Nice galley. But you ll need support for pot on oceans.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

👍 For sure.

[@johngrant1337]

good video thanks

[@sailingona]

Such a good idea 👍

[@deaconallan]

Excellent work. Are you adding a bit of weight to the bottom of the "box" so the swing will be more "controlled"?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thank you, nice tip 💡. I'll test it out first and it shouldn't be too hard to add weight if needed.

[@curtiscagle6261]

Perry, why did you sell your old marine alcohol stove? "Grin" I found one online, but they wanted an arm and leg for it. I wished they weren't so expensive. I am very impressed with your ingenuity, and I love your swinging stove.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thanks! I sold it when I sold my old Cape Dory 31 over 10 years ago. I just didn't think I'd have a need for it and I was going to be moving around a lot for a few years. I wish I had it now, but that was probably the right decision for the time.

[@McTroyd]

That little "Galley" placard is the cherry on top. Love it. How long would a gas bottle of that size last? (It's been a while since I've been camping.)

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

I actually tested 1 can out and I can tell you exactly. I can bring 1 liter of water in that kettle to boil 16 times. Medium high setting, an average of 7 min 15 sec per boil.

[@McTroyd]

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat That's cool. Much more than I expected.

[@locutus8496]

Are you going to rig any on-stove pot holders to keep your pots from sliding off the stove underway?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Yes, I need to! Any good DIY pot holder setups you recommend?

[@locutus8496]

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat Maybe rig up some kind of metal framework about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the burner level on you gimbal box? James Baldwin of Atom Voyages has an interesting adaptation designed for a one burner kerosene stove. I think he might still make and sell them.

[@pozorene8772]

Énorme, tu vas pouvoir cuisiner des bons repas. 👍

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Merci

[@markthomasson5077]

Nice….but, I would have used fillets resin or triangle timber for the corners, so much easier to keep clean

[@christiancivray4849]

Super I Love

[@morychok11]

Good promotion! Maybe it was necessary to use stainless steel for the screen or aluminum? Удачи

[@shawnlund]

When glueing up the wood why not use a scraper/spreader to get 100 glue coverage?

[@guillaumerp]

Hey nice video ! How do you plan to hold your pot in place while cooking on a passage ?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

I'll have to add some kind of contraption, any ideas?

[@et5222]

did you consider using something like copper brad nails to reinforce ?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

I usually try to avoid nails, I feel the glue is already so strong.

[@gunnarfernqvist4896]

It’s too bad they discontinued the Origo 1500, 3000 and 6000 when Dometic bought Origo. Actually there is a small Swedish company who just recently started up the classic production again but under the name Oriondo. Unfortunately at the moment they have only started with the 3000 but rumors say they will continue with the others if the demand is high enough.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Yes I saw that. I don't think the demand is there, sadly. Modern boat owners love their propane.

[@YorgunKarga-bj7ol]

I don't have much info on shipbuilding but it would be better if it could swing not just right and left, one axis would be uncomfortable in a rough sea.

[@PineappleAdrift]

Woo, sweet!

[@JoeS322]

Do you have a ballpark figure for the total material cost?

[@Coyotehello]

who is the manufacturer of shipyard paint? It looks awfully close to what is the sheer line of our new to us VdS34 and I need some!

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

It's Behr premium plus interior/exterior hi-gloss enamel.

[@craigbeere2405]

Hi, What would a boat like this cost to build?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Not sure, could be over 10,000 in materials once the sails and trailer are bought... It is a little crazy.

[@cornishhh]

Looks good. How did Yann cook?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

I believe he said he had a ton of ramen.

[@barneygoogle4003]

Cool

[@fishntools]

Swings easily but only in one direction?

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

No, we have real luxury here, TWO directions! Swings to port AND starboard.

[@fishntools]

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat Still seems limiting. Keep a towel and sponge handy ;)

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

It'll be fine. Most sailboats have stoves that swing only on the transverse plane. I've made over a year's worth of meals this way.

[@denisemartel3352]

Are plans for sale

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

For the swing stove?

[@BrunoWiebelt]

its not helpful to use klick bait foto for your channel ... its not necessary

[@PetrHosek]

Maybe not necessary, but I'm here, so it obviously works. Or maybe the exposure to all that resin had some peculiar biological effects on Perry..

[@JohnCornellier]

Nice bait on the thumbnail.

[@boooshes]

No big deal, but I'm going to add my thumbs down to the clickbait photo.
