A dark floor and dark ceiling, make the space wider and lower
Dark walls with light ceiling and floor emphasize horizontal lines
Light floorceiling and backwall, the space narrows and is deeper and higher
A dark backwall shortens the room
A light ceiling, dark Floor and dark walls give a cellar effect
A light floor, light backwall, dark walls and dark ceiling, give a tunnel effect
All the surfaces have the same color it seems sha- peless
A lot of light colors give a spacious feeling, but can be to cool or impersonal

Galley:
The galley is a sliding unit where cooking and water is facilitated. Electric cooking(dometic)
Electric cooking you can only use when moored because of shore po- wer, batteries cannot be large enough to create enough power for the cooking.(appendix electric cooking)
For electric cooking the Dometic inductionPI7602, 2300W 2 hobs 5,3 Kg was chosen it has a clean design and touchscreen buttons.
Sink with tap and pump
A round sink is opted a small faucet behind it, controlled by a switch connected to the pump.
A round sink diameter:300 mm depth 145 mm was chosen.
And a small water pressure pump 12V, Propumps FL2202A, 2,4 A, 80 psi is placed(topbuy).
In the galley these components are combined the galley measures: 900*400*350 mm. It hangs on slider rails on both sides and slides under the cockpit benches.(gsf-slides)
These slider rails can take up to 300 Kg and slide out to a length of 900 mm. The total weight of the galley component is just : 40 Kg(added up all components and a filled sink). But the slider rails have to keep up when somebody falls or leans on to the galley unit, therefore a support weight of 90Kg wasn’t sufficient, so the stronger version was opted. The galley block contains an electric stove and a sink. Therefore the kitchen needs water supply and drain and electricity supply. These supply and drain need to be flexible since the kitchen can move. The electricity goes through a cable to the energy station to the wall con- nection which is placed in the cockpit. The water supply and drain go to the right tank the pipes are flexible hoses. In the kitchen block there is

a pump for the faucet. Which is also connected to the electricity station since this one works on different voltage than the stove, it is another connection. The material chosen for the galley is wood composite with a sticker bleached wood.

Toilet (cleghorn-1) (cleghorn-2)
The toilet chosen is the smallest design available, the Jabsco compact bowl electric, 12V 16A 351*352*496 mm. It uses 1-2L per flush.
It is connected to the freshwater tank and to the was- te water tank the pump is also connected to the 12V electricity network.
Watertanks (vetus)
The tanks have different openings and connections:
the freshwater tank has a filling opening and a connection to the fresh- water system on board. both tanks are 60L vetus quickfit tanks
The holding tank is connected to the waste water system, when full it has to be emptied in a harbor through a deck fitting or through a through-hull discharge, which is made for sailing on large open waters where you are allowed to discharge. The tanks also need a vent, for the built up pressures.

Cooling(wagenaar):
For cooling an electric cooling drawer was chosen the Weaco 20L it works on 12V 40Watt and weights ca. 16,0 kg. The compressor unit can be mounted apart from the cooling max 50 cm. and will be mounted underneath the drawer.
The cooling is placed in the bench close to the opening and galley be- cause then it is close by when cooking and also close to outside to grab a cold drink.
Motor:
for the target group wealthy thirties an electric sail drive motor is opted. An offer was made by a com- pany specialized in electric motors, “De Stille Boot” they advise the: Saildrive Krautler SDK 4,3 AC - 48V - 5 KW weight: 45 Kg.
We need 4 to 5 sailing hours on one battery pack. There are four options given, three with different sized AGM batteries and one with Li-ionbatteries. the li-ion batteries weigh: 55Kg but these are more expensive and give a slightly lower power. These batteries would enable sailing for 3,4 hours, which is not enough. The biggest battery pack(AGM)is op- ted, this is 4 batteries 12V and 260 Ah, it would ena- ble sailing 5 hours. This should be sufficient. This battery option is very heavy: 312 Kg. The weight has to be placed low in the centre of the hull for better balance (appendix offer de stille boot). When weight becomes a big issue, there can still be an option for the li-ion batteries but maybe add more batterypacks.

Placing a heater when having an electric motor, takes a bit more dif- ficulty. Normal marine heaters work on diesel, when having no diesel
tank onboard it would be necessary to install one just for the heating. This is an easy operation and a better option than using a electric po- wered heater, because the heater would then only work when moored ( because of the great amount of power needed).
Heater(webasto):
For a diesel heater the Webasto Airtop evo 3900 is chosen
This system requires an air inlet and several air outlets. Also diesel should be fueled to the system.
Also a control panel is placed. Here the heating can be turned up. The panel is placed inside behind the paneling.
Galley: Alcohol cooking(dometic-2)
When looking at the scenario you see the electric cooking is no option for this target group. They will use the cooking mainly for heating soup or coffee on the go which is not possible with electric cooking, alcohol is the safest alternative, and safety is important for 50+. The alcohol sto- ve is a stand-alone part. Special alcohol can be bought and put directly into the hobs.
The dometic origo A200 is opted. It has 2hobs and can contain 1,2L al- cohol per hob. Both cookers are about the same size, and are therefore easily changeable.
Motor:(volvo)
for this target group safety and reliability are important issues therefore the motor is a diesel motor. The Volvo Penta sail drive D1-13 power: 8,6 kW 11,8 hp is opted.
Because this is a diesel motor a diesel tank is needed. Also a diesel mo- tor needs a stand-alone 12V battery for starting.
For diesel the 60L Vetus diesel tank is opted. For diesel there is an out and inlet and of course a vent.(vetus)
The Vetus tanks are quick-fit.all the tanks (freshwater, waste-water and diesel) get level sensors. And the boat gets a display to show all the tank levels.
