The Port side deck is glued on, all voids filled and ready to sand smooth in order to glass (tape). The long outside tapes need some time to do so will need to be done on the weekend if the weather is not too hot (because of the time it takes to get the entire […]
I have mentioned that I will start to get outside work done to help me finish the boat. The people I have approached are people I saw work on Dennis’s Nine Lives and was impressed by the quality of their work. One guy (Fergo) has worked on the Ellen Macarthur world record setting trimaran as […]
The saloon furniture is starting to take shape, or at least the lounge suite is. So the plan this month is to finish the lounge suite and start on the kitchen cabinets or maybe the electronics cupboard, it would make more sense to finish that next so that the starboard side of the saloon is […]
Time for another rant. Almost a month after the end of summer and yesterday was 35 degrees and today 38 degrees in Gosford. And that was outside, it must be another 10 degrees warmer on the boat. If anyone doubts that climate change is happening, start building a boat. You will soon agree. In just […]
As you can see from the dates on the 2 posts, I am not updating the site as frequently as usual. Unfortunately I have been having computer issues and as a result I am working from my old laptop which is a bit slow and clunky but more importantly besides uploading it I also keep […]
Unfortunately half the month is gone and I have only managed 10 hours work on the boat so far this month. I have been in Queensland over last weekend with Jo so could not work on the boat for 5 days. Unfortunately Jo has had to move up there for the school year to help […]
As I hinted last month, I had grown bored with the fiddly plumbing work (I know I have to suck it up and get on with it sooner or later but I can do little bits at a time in between more interesting work) so I moved onto the saloon furniture. As I now have […]
I am getting a bit bogged down (no pun intended) in the ensuite plumbing, and losing a bit of motivation to go into the hot shed and fiddle around for hours and not have much to show for it so I have decided to reinvigorate myself by getting some high visual impact work done by […]
The ensuite is almost plumbed, the through hull tank exits are the last physical fitting to be fitted and the vanity cabinet glassed in. So I marked the doorway in the shaped vanity front and cut the door out. I had already faired the front as well as I could and also some of the […]
I had already decided on a size and position for the shaving cabinet, and cut out the opening from the D panel it will sit in. The panel closes off the foredeck of the boat from the ensuite, but has plumbing and electric wiring go through it and therefore I felt it necessary to ensure […]
