Everything AND The Kitchen Sink - How To Retro-Plumb A Boat Galley | Boat Refit Documentary Part 20
Why do projects on a boat take so long?
Because to get to the thing you actually want to work on, you have to fix all of the inter-connected paraphernalia as well 🤪
It's like that song you learned about the human skeleton as a child... (how the "knee bone's connected to the thigh bone...")
In our case, the latest manifestation of this fascinating and inevitable phenomenon has been the cupboard under the sink - A.K.A "the horrible cupboard".
(Trust me, every boat has one.)
Before laying down the new Corian countertop we had an opportunity to actually get to said horrible cupboard while the sink was pulled out.
Of course, what we found when we did was worse than expected.
Another rat's nest of wiring, obsolete pieces of ducting, corroded hoses, and an archaic plumbing system with a smell of its own.
(Be thankful YouTube doesn't include 'smellavision')
This is the story of how we fixed those problems, and had a little fun along the way.
It's a classic case of everything AND the kitchen sink.
Watch to the end if you want a laugh!!

The Sailing Adventures of Brilliant II
Join the Smallwoods - Sharon, Julian, Josh, and Pepe (the Blue Burmese) - aboard Sailing Vessel Brilliant II. Brilliant II is a Kelly Peterson 44, built in 1978. Julian and Sharon bought the boat in Phuket, Thailand, in 2005, and sailed her slowly back to Sydney, Australia. Over the next five years they lived aboard and sailed the coasts of New South Wales and Queensland. They are currently based in the Whitsundays, Queensland, where Josh was born in 2010. In 2021 they began a refit of the water-damaged interior (which had needed doing since the start!), while continuing to sail on mini-adventures north and south of their home port. Sharon is a photojournalist by trade, but realising YouTube is a thing has started creating videos too. You can also follow their adventures on Instagram at @shazatsea.
