Refleks diesel heater (new gadget aboard Obelix ()

[dahlke]

Oh man! I'm so excited! I had only planned on visiting the refleks factory to get some inspiration but I simply could not resist once I was there. Good thing I'm single

Now I just need to figure out how much of the starboard bunk I want to remove. The rule is 10 cm to flammable material that are covered with something non-flammable (with 2 cm of air separating the two materials).

Just wanted to share my enthusiasm

This looks interesting. Could you mount it on the bulkhead between the mast and the side of the bunk, or is it too big? I'm still looking for a heater, preferably Diesel.

Peter, Tony Allport wrote an article in Good Old Boat, Issue #77 (Mar/Apr 2011) detailing his installation of a used Espar D-1 diesel heater in ... their Albin Ballad. Do you know Tony? He apparently lives on Anderson Island, Puget Sound. This him here:

I could send you the article, if you need it.

They do have a bulkhead mounted version of the 66 model. Sadly I don't think there is enough space to mount the 66 (the smallest stove Refleks makes) between the mast and the bulkhead. I'm not done yet but in a couple of weeks I should be getting close. I've made a short video showing the progress so far https://www.youtube.com/user/madsdahlke/videos
