Mine is a solid tube from the starboard settee to lazarette. It passes below the icebox and come out in the lazarette.

Hi,
My first post here on EY forum.
I cannot help myself, since you are going to all the trouble of re-building this yacht, why not do it so it meet building codes?
It will save you countless head hakes, make the boat safer, make it insurable, etc etc.
Follow the ABYC standards (American Boat & Yacht Council), buy the ABYC standards 'bible' it will be money well spent!
Sincerely,
Alain

Howdy,
I agree about following published standards for wiring, plumbing, and any other systems in general. It's smart to be safe and of course earlier to insure, too.
OTOH when it comes to the actual arrangement of the interior accommodations, you are free to put stuff most anywhere. (Just be aware that if you deviate too far from the"norm" you may harm your future resale value, too.
I am not trying to be flip, but from the early 70's when many builders put in a side galley, to the 80's when the galley layout moved aft and was all on one side or split... fad and fashion have been the main drivers of interior layout.
Another example is the head compartment. There was a time when it was always forward, just before reaching the fore peak berth. Then in the mid 70's some builders started moving it aft by the companionway, and then it sort of migrated to either side of the aft part of the cabin area. We like having the head aft with an aft cabin opposite, and this has become the norm in the last 20 years. I imagine that this stuff will all change again..... in another 20 years!
Cheers, and fair winds,
Loren
Adam--is it like this? I can't figure it out....
OK, just keep the gimballed stove locked. If you go offshore, or want to cook under way, remove the shelf and clear the area to let it swing.
A gimbaled stove is a design luxury. They can't easily be retrofitted if the galley wasn't designed for one. They provide the only predictably level place to put anything down in a seaway.

I recently left the gimbal unlocked, accidentally, on a bumpy day. Turns out I don't have quite as much clearance as I thought! The stove actually jammed in an extreme position. In fact, it was more a problem with the gas fittings going straight out the back - I added a street ell. But of course, nobody in their right mind would be cooking in those conditions anyway. Really.
Really.

Im not worried at all about the heat.
This stove is designed to send heat up and forward. There is almost no heat immediately behind the stove, let alone where the hull is almost 12" behind it.
I also moved the stove forward about an inch from where I believe the original stove was. I've got pretty good clearance, and the stove doesn't hit the shelf until about a 45 degree angle of heel. I'll probably eventually upgrade the shelf with some sheet stainless steel in the front. But it's not the highest priority.

Interesting, the standard stove has a heat/air vent on the rear of the oven.

The stove I got is a used Force 10. They made a nearly identical built-in version, and it obviously couldn't redirect all of the heat out the back. I guess it just make sense to build the same vent system for the gimbaled version which I have.
