Budget Boat Transformed using Upcycled Materials! Stainless Galley Refit REVEAL | A&J Sailing
Clever DIY Boat Galley Refit using upcycled materials transforms this 53 year old Sailboat Galley on a budget! Stainless steel countertops for FREE, custom made icebox, upgraded design & storage solutions!
After a season living full time on our 30ft sailboat cruising the epic coastline of the Pacific Northwest we're back on the docks making some necessary upgrades to our four decade old floating home! We've spent the past few days ripping apart our super rotten sailboat galley in order to transform it to a modern mobile kitchen! All of our hard work pays off this week as we pull it altogether.

Continually chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path & living a more sustainable, self-sufficient life.

Nice work, I have a 1988 C 30, #5267, in Gibsons, BC. Upgraded icebox to 12V/110 Ac refrigeration, added a Dorm fridge under the steps. It has a propane oven stove combo. I added mirrored plastic sliders, on the cabinets, and a clear acrylic backsplash above the teak behind the sink.

Hey Franklin! We're onboard hull #1543, stoked to hear that you're also out on a C30! Good call on the acrylic backsplash, I bet that keeps the saloon cushions much cleaner! We are planning on putting a 12v condenser unit in the icebox eventually, it's part of the master build plans but first we need some decent solar :) Hope to catch you out there one day!
You're supposed to have that vertical loop to prevent a following seas wave from flooding your engine. You might want to look up and add an anti-siphon valve too. Protect your engine, you've only for one! Great video, awesome gallery Reno! I'm a new sub.

Thanks mate! There is a vertical loop in the exhaust in the port lazarette when the exhaust hose comes up to the level of the deck/hull joint before heading aft and exiting out the transom. The anti siphon valve is also installed coming off the elbow riser. Stoked you found us, thank you for subscribing!

Thanks so much! It was pretty satisfying to bring that stainless steel back to life and repurpose the other elements. Now we feel like we have a million dollar galley :)
Great finish with lots of improvements, will be watching for the food that comes out of the new galley.

Thank you Peter! Hopefully it will be lots of fresh seafood! ;)
Very cool. I cry now over my stock Catalina 30. The stainless countertops and cool backsplash are much envied on my end. I did make a gimballing electric cooktop and electric countertop oven. Spent $1300 for 560AH or lLifePO4 that fits in the starboard battery box. So I went all electric cooking and with a little solar I don't really have to worry about it too much! No propane and pretty much endless cooking.
Outstanding content! Excellent storytelling and your video skills get better with each episode.

Beautiful work! Are you keeping the manual foot pedal pump for the sink?

Thank you friend! Yes we installed the foot pump and we love it! Keeps things simple, helps to conserve water and allows you to use two hands! Great stuff!
So beautiful! So did you gain or lose storage? Can’t wait to see your next cruising videos to see how the galley worked for you ♥️♥️
@AllisonandJamesSailing
Жыл бұрын
We gained storage! Before the exhaust hose and second sink took up heaps of unused space! Removing those opened up an entire cupboard space - we opted to put recycling and garbage bins in there. Big improvement 👍🏽
Did you consider putting the cook top on a swivel so you can use it under way?
@AllisonandJamesSailing

We use this stove underway! A gimbaled propane marine stove is about half the cost of our entire boat! One like that is only needed if you’re doing long passages, like crossing the Pacific. Our boat is a coastal cruiser, not a blue water vessel so there’s no need for such a stove! The Inside Passage is very protected, the seas are calm and we anchor every night!
What year is your Catalina? Hull number? I have a 1984 and the icebox is insulated.

We’re overwintering in Alert Bay. Way to get the heat installed🔥We have that on our list of things to do this Fall as well. Did you install a Dickenson or other?

@@AllisonandJamesSailing actually I went with a Chinese diesel forced air unit mounted in the port locker. Still have some tidying up to do but we used it last weekend and it works amazing!!! Almost too warm. The lowest setting and we still had to crack the hatch. Much cheaper option to the traditional wall mounts.
