More refit news
After spending a week training in extreme temperatures (skiing) in Norway over half term I went to visit the boat yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by progress.
Mr Stainless has done a super job constructing my internal handrails. Basically they follow the lines of the headsail car track bolts. This means I have port and starboard grab rails the full length of the main cabin.
Mr Stainless also finished 2 new vanes for my ATOMS wind vane.
The reconstruction work around the keel pan looks like it is almost complete with the bilge having had a fresh flo-coat paint job.
A trimmed cuddy with window holes cut out was positioned for the last time and marked up for final trimming. Putting all the original shed related comments I received aside I must say I am pleased with how this is shaping up.
The tuff luff has been removed from the forestay ahead of the move to hanks for all headsails.
Ninjod is scheduled to come out of the shed this week. Next step is to fit all the new components that remain on the floor of our dinning room. Specifically, solar panels and new charge controller, windgen, stove, internal led lighting etc. etc.
