Sailboat Galley Renovation (DIY Corian Countertop) - Sailing Uma [Step 136]

[@SailingUma]

Make sure you look closely at the thumbnail for a Hefty Susan sneak speak update. 😉

[@4uappliancerepairllc980]

I was watching you put those routed dish drain cuts in your counter top. And as I was writing my suggestion. I was thinking. "He seems smart enough to have figured this one out". Scratching my head. But I made the comment anyway because you did such a awesome job. And wanted to point it out while you still have access to the shop. Next time I'll wait for the finished product before I make a suggestion. And by the way. You two have some dayum good ideas! Your creativity is very inspiring.

[@LesterDFunk]

I'm hoping that most excellent lid in the thumbnail includes a stopper to keep the hefty susan from spinning while sailing. It would make it far easier on your organization and the bearings I think.

[@dylandwyer6305]

Sailing Uma Dan, there’s a lot of people here praising your design skills and craftsmanship, for good reason. You could already start designing for other people’s boat projects. I see a lot of career opportunities for you guys coming from this channel. What a cool portfolio you’re creating!!

[@robertbolderson3633]

What are the dimensions of the Hefty Susan?

[@johnbolongo9978]

That lazy Susan top access to the blind corner is pure creative genius ...love it.

[@ainenibharra5176]

You two have the nicest equal but different relationship I've ever seen. And Dan is such a credit to homeschooling and country self-sufficiency.

[@linda-MyLifeAndOtherAnecdotes]

Sooooooo happy to see that hideous orange wall is gone. Now it looks like a beautiful, sophisticated, grown-up kitchen instead of a dorm room. Love it! Gorgeous job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@CheersWarren]

I so like that you are doing this quality refit AFTER you have sailed for a couple of years and you actually know what you want from experience rather than 'I think this will work' and quality product should hold up so much better. Glad you have the funds to do it. Cheers Warren.

[@swishswish386]

Again WOW! That looks amazing with a very professional finish and so very smart in design. This bloke is a combination of MacGyver, Stradivarius and Steve Jobs - I am beginning to feel somewhat envious and suitably inferior. Well done guys !!!

[@fatwormsfarm]

Is anyone else tired of how amazing Dan is? He's exhausting...

[@sails3538]

Tim Brennan .... this guy has skills. 30yrs of offshore sailing has shown me these are the guys that succed in sailing. With the exception of Delos, computer guys and government workers are the failures. These are the people with no life skills.

[@Geert2682]

@@sails3538 maybe stop judging people

[@BobWiersema]

Sails dude that's totally not right. I'm a IT guy with mad building skills. You either are mechanically inclined or not. Dan obviously is. Oh and I did once work for the government as a building engineer. Quit because of the incompetent people I had to work with. So, some truth to that part. :-)

[@fsoileau]

I get where you are coming from. Life skills don't always show in your typical trade skills, some trades don't show through because those TRADES were hi-jacked by Universities in the 1970's to 80's as so called "Professions". The reason most of us watch these channels are because these people are excellent story tellers. And I would bet Sailing Uma put a Crazy amount of time and effort into telling that story. That said take "Gone With the Wynns " they may not come close to the tradesman skills of Uma although they try. However their photography , story telling skills and simply CAN DO attitude you can not deny . Sometimes what inspires us is simply doing it!

[@travisneill704]

Geert van der Wal no seriously, he’s right...we computer people can’t building anything that isn’t associated with a network switch, cat5 or motherboard.

[@svallegro9851]

You two are becoming the HGTV of boats. Love it. Peace

[@sv_papillon]

Dan, It's amazing your skill in boatbuilding. You have demonstrated incredible ability whether with mechanics, electric, wood, etc. You two are already experts in speaking, editing your videos and now you surprise us with your talent on this channel. Congratulations on your very well done work, for sharing so much knowledge. Maybe one day we will meet the seas of the world, I will be happy to shake your hand and congratulate you personally! Fair Winds

[@Garwelt]

The transformation your boat has gone through is incredible, you've really made it your own and i stare in awe at every episode. Only sad part is that i have to wait another week for more!

[@jamesford8315]

With what you're doing, you are becoming the "Joneses" that everyone will be trying to keep up with. Very classy. Keep up the good work.

[@SVImpavidus]

Some good practical design ideas there guys. Conventional boat builders probably sucking air through their teeth but, dare to be different, innovate and keep doing what you do, its good stuff. Sail safe . Ant & Cid xx

[@JohnMason-Hill]

You guys are insanely talented and have great taste!!

[@michaelrizzo5492]

UMA is becoming a luxurious Yacht. Great video and craftsmanship

[@jorgedellacosta3024]

Wow !!! Great design and use of the space. What a transformation. Looks like the guys at just cat are treating you with their usual hospitality. Say high to Rafael from me, they worked on my boat. 👋👋👍

[@LuizSchmidt]

Impressive what 2 architects with a great attitude and lots of elbow grease can do to a boat! Kudos!

[@np939427a]

That's one happy woman, That smile says a thousand words ;)

[@00708046]

You both have amazing creativity and Dan has superb craft skills as well as superior workmanship . You are designing and engineering as well as building and installing plumbing , electrical ,boat structuring and cabinet making ! And your final results are better quality than any boat manufacturer's . You both should be very proud of yourselves and proud of your boat ! From Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦 . Take care !

[@christopherstube9473]

I really like the graduated grooves to drain back into the sink.

[@adamsmith-bg5wq]

I like the construction parts of your channel better than the sailing bits - and the sailing bits are great. You two really do an excellent job!

[@justsomeguy2943]

You guys are DESTROYING the HGTV lineup!

[@csteingraber]

The thing that I’m amazed at is that you guys started knowing very little about sailing and it seems like when you do a project such as this it’s not just how impressive it is done but I feel like even after time passes and you were to do it again it’s so well done from a planning perspective that it seems like you almost couldnt improve upon it. That is what impresses me the most. You guys don’t just do incredibly difficult projects with seaming ease but you really implement design that will stand the test of time I think. It makes the content very valuable.

[@SailingUma]

Awe. Thanks! It's hard to show on camera, but the 90% of the effort is in the planning.

[@2ShoesPhoto]

I'm almost 100% sure you two are geniuses and should be a part of designing budget sailboats for the middleclass people of the world!

[@jpshipwash6240]

You guys work so well as a team. I think it’s neat when he calls you chica.

[@Rsama60]

I really like the non-marine look of your boats interior. This is so refreshing. I think once you might ever end your tour and settle down, you need to get boat designers.

[@1javierescobar]

From the future, you guys really inspire me !

[@NostalgicGames-ov2lc]

For me, Dan its the most skilled man in the sailing YT community. Right after Dan, i think its Aladino from the channel Sailing Magic Carpet. Dan and Kika keep up the good work and have fun

[@vraymond108]

Wow, you guys are very lucky to have access to such a great shop. That and your creativity are a winning combination.

[@jay-2556]

Guys love de design and its comming out supper good. Dan, i think the word u were looking for is post-construction or post-creation. Never the less we got u!

[@patience8884]

I'm amazed by your ingenuity. It seems silly, but proud to watch you tackle the work and get it done. Happy for you both and love watching your adventures.

[@goulash75]

Galley looks amazing guys... but I kinda liked the orange as a backsplash. It added a (as they would say in Korea) "fashion point" to the boat. :) Who ever gets this boat if / when you decide to trade it in, is going to get one of the nicest small yachts on the water!

[@RiggingDoctor]

You guys are amazing! The galley looks like a kitchen in a million dollar condo!!

[@roberthandlon1877]

Amazing job, way to make that architecture training pay off. Nice to have access to a shop. Looking forward to more.

[@DarenSpinelle]

More than construction, it’s art. Truly impressive- and motivating too.

[@walkerbasham7342]

That galley looks REALLY cool. Since I've started binging this series, I've waited for this to come into being(I watched the boat tour first) and its finally there :)

[@treyc1306]

Everything is coming together. You make everything look so easy, it's a lot of sweat and tears. Keep up the great work 😊

[@adammallerman8153]

When I watched your first videos I thought Dan seemed like a nice nerdy type. So wrong! Watching you in the last free videos I feel nothing but awe. Your skilled in so many areas and it's pro work. Incredible.

[@lancem440]

Jesus the quality of your work is so damn good. all custom and random ideas and you made a masterpiece. great job guys!

[@ianzander]

The space is going to be stunning when completed. Unique small hip apartment, not a "boat" look at all. Well done!

[@lawrencegleason4666]

This may be my favourite Uma episode. I think I've watched it five times now. One talented crew. Hats off.

[@HopeOfJoe]

You guys are reminding me of Teal and s/v basic and and his magic craftsmanship. Fabulous !!!!!!.

[@imassakin1607]

New show for you guys should be called Pimp my Boat!! Looks amazing!

[@jb9090]

She looks good... really like the way your boat has taken shape throughout. Nice work. You’re an inspiration!

[@brunsonr]

Very nicely done! Could you tell us more about the really cool concealed lighting?

[@Solstice42]

Getting really ship-shape - nice that you can give it a high-class look as anyone would want in their primary home - land or sea.

[@corvairchris82]

Excellent, Excellent work, y'all will never sail again however, you'll be too busy sitting in the galley admiring your wonderful work.

[@SailingTaranto]

I'm deeply envious of your skills you folks! What a wonderful and practical mobile home you are creating. Cheers

[@solitudeandsailing]

Lol postpartum... you guys are fun to watch, love the creativity and skill with your refit

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Dan and Kika, I'm closing in on the most current episodes but I had to comment on this video and the head videos. If someone were to just see a few stills of what you have done in the galley and what the final version of the head will look like, they would think that you have done a small apartment renovation for Dwell magazine. Your work is imaginative and well done. Uma is going to be the classiest apartment afloat. Congratulations on projects well done.

[@ghost307]

That rotary storage bin is really neat.

[@fullwaverecked]

Great idea with the drain channels!

[@MrDCMo]

I love you two. I didn't discover you until a few months ago when I was searching for info about Rio Dulce, but since then your channel has become my favorite--so entertaining, informative, and well-done. I hope to soon follow in your wake.

[@sveriphine5354]

All my thumbs and big toes are not enough. You guys have done an amazing job!!!

[@fxpthl]

Once again you have fabricated an entirely new and outstanding galley! Bravo!

[@buildingsailboats4549]

Wow that looks great. Also your camera shots and editing made it very enjoyable to watch. Thank you

[@GrowSailing]

Wow guys ... awesome job. So envious of your new counter top and sink. This is an experts job! All the best Sina & Benny

[@kennediens]

What a fantastic result! Really enjoying watching the renos. Uma is looking gooooood.

[@edrosenberger6947]

Very impressive galley remodeling ideas and workmanship. That backsplash may be a bear to keep clean. I like Dan's on the fly ideas and I'm amazed at the ease with which they seem to come to him. This will become one very unique sailboat.....good job you two!!

[@davelightfoot2913]

I watched your boat interior tour video. Now I’m watching how you did it. Awesome job you guys. Enjoy your travels

[@dtonvista]

That is a fantastic design and beautiful work, very well done. Uma does not look like the boat you bought, a new great modern look!

[@janharris1085]

Aesthetically and functionally, this is an amazing galley redesign! Way cool! I like the look of the backsplash, the use of the pot filler and removing the upper steps! It is such a clean look! Wonderful design, wonderful execution!

[@dougford5691]

The galley looks great. You are quite the craftsman!!!

[@TheRattyBiker]

Uma looks like she's almost ready to sell - sail, I mean sail! Looks really good guys. Loved the delos chugging diagram complete with Kika!

[@dunknoent.8089]

Here is an idea. You can hook that stair mat. Like a car floor mat. Just in case it doesn't slide from under you for any reason. Great vlogs guys.

[@davidc6510]

That Corian countertop you made is drop dead gorgeous! The final product looks fantastic - it could easily be something that would be custom made for any multi-million dollar yacht! I like it - I like it a lot! Awesome job Dan! Cheers!

[@scoobydo6454]

Dude seriously impressed with your joinery and handyman skills and what a great result ! A shout out to the company that are also letting you use their workshop, buggy etc, really kind of them. Look forward to seeing it finished:)

[@tadpolecrunch]

Eagerly awaiting report on performance of Lithium batteries. Great episode.

[@sevmato]

I Binge watched 144 videos in 4 or 5 days, your journey and boat project has inspired me to start a boat project myself. Who knows, maybe we'll meet someday at some port or marina :) I'll be looking forward to your future adventures and videos.

[@GrantHodgsonWnNZ]

I really like how much fun and thought you put into this, it’s inspiring!

[@chip9177]

looking good guys. Idea for ya...cut down the tops of the of the divider walls in the lazy susan. Wont pinch your hand & gives a place to grab to rotate. Nice drip rails into the sink. Thinking router a radius around sink opening before the drain channels, round the edges. Now get back to the world tour, cause we can't get there until you do....cheers

[@sailingintothemystic1420]

Dan, you are a one-man DIYer! We're so impressed. You've given us a lot of inspiration as we get started as cruising live-aboards.

[@randalljames1]

I have one of those sinks.. (5 years +) awesome sinks.. they do not stain, they are easy on dishes and will never chip, break or fall apart.. Way better than any stainless I have had in a house..

[@c5dave1999]

Very, Very, Very, Very COOL!!!!! You two did an awesome job!!!!

[@Mojo522]

I love that you two are do-it-yourselfers because unlike most people online I'll be truthful my wallet only allows me to be a do-it-yourselfer. lol. I love that you converted over to solar and electric. I'm all about that, I'm an environmental science student. I always think to myself, remember when they first got the boat, compared to now. What a positive difference, you must be proud? Anyway, thank you. I love the vids

[@andrewkeir2282]

You two have the coolest looking boat interior. Cant half tell you are both architects.

[@timthomas4046]

you have inspired me, I am now thinking of just buying a cheap boat and just sailing from the west coast to Hawaii.

[@wayneburchwell1977]

Great work! A fine example of excellent craftsmanship and innovative thinking. Once again a fine job editing. And Kiki, this old man thinks you are adorable.

[@peterfree981]

looks fantastic it's starting to look like a brand new boat

[@ryanconrad9811]

WOW! You all are truly gifted at design.

[@pirateracer69]

WOW! You are making me feel like selling my house to go live aboard earlyer than i should. Your happyness is contageous guys...keep it up. Marc Andre from Montréal canada.

[@SailingUma]

DO IT!!!

[@TST1998]

Amazing how skilled you are in this handcraft things.

[@rickwatson1000]

My complements to two of you and team work!

[@wkw4095]

Hell Yah! Big thumbs up! that is super sharp. I want a complete walk through when this is complete!

[@ronruethain5521]

You guys are simply amazing. I thought I was kind of handy with tools but you take it to a whole new level. We really enjoy your VLOGs. Thanks. Jan and Ron

[@myogart]

Amazing job. Your kitchen is nicer than my house. Love the utilitarian ability of the reaching faucet.

[@keebearfull]

GIANT THUMBS UP! Best ever sailboat makeover is almost complete!!!!!

[@scottarceneaux7745]

I'm surprise the marina has not offered you a job.You to are doing a great job on that boat.Good job guys.Keep the great videos coming.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Wow, that looks super awesome!!! Great job you guys. Love the little spinning drum, that’s a nifty idea!

[@unclemuir]

Nike is that the next up grade for Karl?

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Uncle Muir no, I definitely don’t have the skills like these guys to create something like that. But I do need a new sink for my head, so it’s good inspiration! Karl will get the scrappy version, though ☺️.

[@daniseakey6773]

My friend Harold Adams was the chief engineer at McDonnell Douglas a boat designer as well. Holds the patent for the first auto pilot. Was a huge fan of the "Lazy Susan"!

[@cerby86]

Looks awesome guys! You should totally make the mat for where you step down a different colour to your sink. Watching this i was thinking it would be cool to have the sink one of the compartments of the hefty susan. Cos then you could leave dirty dishes in it until your ready to wash and have them out of sight plus you would not have a sink constantly taking up bench space. But i can't for the life of me think of a good way to drain a sink that rotates around like that haha

[@overlandteahouse1273]

Rockin' and very inspiring. Recently purchased a '73, 30' Coronado and starting from scratch in terms of updating, etc. Thanks for taking the time to put these out. Hope to see you in the water :)

[@jonathanbresler6721]

The boat is looking quite beautiful. You are giving me ideas for my ownn boat. Thank you. Postpartum is the word that you are looking for rather than postmortem.

[@grahamjones5885]

Great design and workmanship. The galley area looks beautiful. The indirect lighting really shows it off.

[@JCrook1028]

That new galley is beauty!

[@kelsangsamdrub1450]

That looks very cool. Makes a big difference on the look of the boat.

[@tnpharmd]

Looking great guys! This episode is what got me turned on to your channel. Learning The Lines mentioned you guys when talking about the pot filler you sent them. I looked you up and have binge watched over a couple of weeks to get to this video. Keep them coming!

[@brickwyrm5439]

I love that you made Heft Susan tall enough for wine bottles.

[@SailingUma]

Of course!!!!

[@smurph4959]

Guys this is Amazing!!!! Im soaking everything in as I need to renovate a little caravan and I lack any skills ... yet 😀 thank you 🌼🌸🌼

[@finding_mojo]

What an incredible job you have done with that sink area. Looks more like a luxury boat every day. You have some amazing skills guys and work so well as a team. Very impressed.

[@susieboodoo8464]

Omg Dan! You are such a great handy man. Everything looks great 👍

[@SailingCoffeecup]

In the process of redoing our galley... great ideas, maybe have to steal one or two! Nice work as well!!
