Their design featured two double cabins, bunk beds for guests, a sitting area, chart table, kitchen, composting toilet and a shower. A wood-burning stove would provide some Scandinavian hygge on those chilly arctic nights...Small wind turbines were fitted and the roof was covered with solar panels...The original tarpaulin was replaced with curved windows while the rear superstructure of the boat was cut away, making way for a new plywood and fibreglass cockpit.Calum Watson profiles two young architects who bought a retired Scottish lifeboat, converted it and set off on a 5,000km (3,100 miles) journey to Norway and beyond.
