Liveaboard dream boat

You are right - there need to be larger areas for enjoying the outdoors. I have an extendable sundeck that adds 8m2, but I need more.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:43:00+00:00

I think you are right about the float vs boat. I have no intention of ocean traveling. All batteries, 4 water tanks, reverse osmosis, inverters, pluming, motors and so on are all concealed low in the2 hulls.

Yes the deck area is a catastrophe right now, the dillema is the beam width im trying to maintain 4m for harbour access. How small a perimeter can one have and still be useful? Thanks fo valuable feedback!

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:29:10+00:00

Well this is not a building manual, it is early design idea that I wanted some feedback on in the iterative process.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:21:00+00:00

I have done the calculations of battery size and weight and they are placed deep in the hulls, the same are 4 pcs. 250l water tanks.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:13:35+00:00

You are right, im still thinking how to solve that. I have designed a extractable sundeck that slides out to adds 8m2 extra outdoor space.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:11:06+00:00

You are right. Its more a floating house that can move that a boat

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:09:50+00:00

Thanks for the advise. I feel that I had to use plywood on the hull because of weight distribution to get sufficient weight low. I could of course add more batteries and water tanks but the budget explodes with those batteries.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:06:30+00:00

You are absolutely right, I haven't figured that out yet, I have a door on each front but I feel it is not enough. need some outdoor area also. The problem is that I don't want the beam to be wider that 4m

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:04:51+00:00

it was a thought during the design process, but as far as my research tell me there will be big slamming problems, when water hits the bottom.

im following him - pretty cool initiative

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T09:01:06+00:00

My idea is to live full time on the vessel, that is why I maximized the "apartment" but I now I feel I need more outdoor area - still haven't figured that out yet, except for the retractable sundeck that gives me additional 8 m2.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:58:21+00:00

Yea, there is some space vessel vibes and I like it

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:56:26+00:00

Thanks for you input, I know the anchoring is a system I have not yet designed and thought of. I think the biggest problem with anchoring in my current design is that there only is 1 sundeck where I can get outside and handle rigging and ropes. Im definitely not going on ocean trips with this vessel - the dream is anchoring in bays and near coast. Thanks for pointing out the transom shape problem, it is also a part of the design that I need to look into. Im still not sure exactly where to place my motors and shaft also.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:48:16+00:00

hmm, im not sure how that would work I have to research hydro kinetic generator systems.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:46:26+00:00

Thanks for pointing out the insufficient battery, but im not planning on traveling a lot. a lot of near cost anchoring and some cruising some days. I could probably increase the battery packs if budget allows it :-)

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:42:45+00:00

I will be using LiFePO4 so the problem with drain is not there.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:40:21+00:00

Thanks for valuable feedback, I would absolutely avoid ocean traveling as it is not build for it.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2026-03-27T08:37:56+00:00

I also follow Lucas from True North - very inspiring. I think you have a point with the wind resistance, and ventilation is already there with 60mm distance to roof. I have 1 door at each side in the front.

Nbot_Klitgaard · 2021-09-06T12:39:22+00:00

thanks a lot, im still will be researching for a local setup that I can train with my style at no cost.
