Building our boat

Allright, after some silence time for another update!

Last months were mainly used for electric, water and heating installation.

Also some interior woodworking. The molds for the captains seat and the couch are ready and delivered by the upholstery.

Panels for floors with hatches for storage underneath. I used multiplex with on both sides a high pressure laminate. Later on there will be carpet of parquet on top.

Starting with ceiling panels: For every room a panel will be made in one piece. I used Vikupor panels. They bend and are lightweight and can handle moisture from condensation.

Finishing edge round portholes: an evening CNC milling and lots of sanding and painting..

At the moment I am looking for a system for navigation, VHF, depth etc.. Last week at Boot Dusseldorf we have checked the Raymarine and Simrad equipment. Looks like great stuff, still waiting for some quotes...

You mean the exhaust? Or the whole unit since its in the same department as the engine?
I'm thinking to insulate the engine by putting a devider in the room.

On the exhaust there will be a dampener installed, but that's to get lower noise.
 
Yesterday I ordered some raymarine stuff.
Centre will be a A-series 98 multifunction display.

To see if this wasn't going be to big, I made a puzzle to find out what space I have on the dashboard. It's rather small and with a strange form.
The engine controls are now mounted on a seperate plate, but in the end I want to make a dash with all meters and knobs in one wooden or metal sheet.

I know the layout is not looking good, but this was just a way to find out if the MFD would fit.
Any thoughts on things I may forget?
 
I wouldn't put domestic tankage at the helm (potable and black water gauges) - I'd power them from the relevant domestic circuits, and install them in the accommodation. On my own boat I've decommissioned the oe fresh water tank gauge, and installed one in the galley, powered off the water pump circuit.

Just the exhaust pipe. That thing will get VERY hot when running. It would not be acceptable to have it so close to those holes you have cut in the timer, it will burn in minutes.

See my pic below... there is the exhaust, and then an insulating jacket, and then finally a 50mm duct/hose to stop other objects coming in contact. If you don't believe me, fire up the diesel heater and see for yourself how hot the exhaust gets.

Here is the pic of mine, you'll see the exhaust, then the white insulating jacket and on the outside the 50mm duct/hose:

Here are the items you need:
(I bought from this company last week... good communication and quick delivery)

Hope this helps!

Kristof,

I agree with rafiki and JTB re placement of gauges.
I would try to think of not only space but process. I'd differentiate between helming and living in the boat.

Now, when helming I wouldn't care less how much water is in the tank or how full the black water tank is. Honestly, it's highly unlikely you'll start a one hour trip with the black water tank half full and end up with it full :p

So around the wheel looking forward I'd stick all the engine/nav equipment. My sketch would suit a left hander as the ray is to the left. I'd also expect to see a water temp gauge next to the rev counter, all the rest in a row under them.
I'd move the search light towards the stbrd side and use the port space under the raymarine for windlass and mainly thrusters.

I'd shift the gauges water/black (probably even diesel) to the strbrd panel and stick the bilge pump controls (haven't seen them in your drawing!) around there.

sorry it's a 2min sketch got to go.

Jimmy, Rafiki and Vas: thanks for the comments and drawing!
Tankmeters are indeed better in another place.

I ordered the meters yesterday, I'm looking forward to install them. These kind of finishing jobs are giving more satisfaction, much more pleasant than insulating and plumbing...
Next couple weeks some other work to do, after that back on the boat.
Latest target date is october 2015.
 
Dashboard ready, toilet questions

At the moment the dashboard is nearly finished. Only the knobs for the anchor winch have yet to be installed.
Here are some pics:

Currently I am working on the bathroom.
Cabinets, shower and sink are ready. Now I need to instal the electric toilet.

How much distance should there be between the in- and oulet?
The easiest way should be to put them next to each other, because I have little space under the floor. But I am scared that the inlet would suck up the outlet of the toilet that way. Is there a golden rule?

Or is it better to take fresh water from the tanks to flush the toilet? Do I risk to contaminate the fresh water, even with a non-return valve?

Opinions would be gladly appreciated!
 
Our inlet and outlet are fairly close together, maybe a foot or so apart of the aft heads and two to thee feet on the fwd heads. Occasionaly the inlet draws thing back in but not so much so that it is a problem. In reality ease of access to open and close them is the determining factor. Our boat is a Broom so built by experienced and well-respected boatbuilders.
 
Another update!

After a lot of work, blood, sweat and beers bedroom and spare bed are ready, cabinets, ceilings and walls too.
Exept for the upper salon, most wood is finished with 4 layers of varnish.

Here are some pics taken with phone, excuses for the poor quality.

Next job will be the bench in the upper salon and finish the edges round the windows and ceiling.
