The shower is almost finished, the base is in, the black tank is ready to glass in so next will be a panel made to cover over it and then the shower back with doorway through to the laundry can go in. I have all of my through hulls on the port hull in the […]
I forgot to test the Pureseal plates at the start of Autumn so I did it mid month and am reporting it here. I continue to be impressed by this stuff but cannot get any information or an answer from the makers. 3 years and 3 months and it is still working. It is starting […]
I really have to throw some serious hours at this build soon as I am falling further and further behind schedule. I have only managed about 100 hours in 3 months when I really ought to be getting 100 hours a month if this boat is to be finished in 2011. I have already conceded […]
With the plumbing under the shower base and the web for supporting the base glued and glassed in, glassing the shower base in was a fairly simple task, except that first the drain panel had to be glued and glassed in first. Then the duflex shower base went in under the aft edge of the […]
The bathroom in the Port hull sits behind the wall that makes the stairwell and under the galley. In that room will be a vanity basin and toilet (and an escape hatch) and through the main bulkhead (where most other boats of this design have the bathroom and shower) will be the shower with a […]
Sorry for that rather long break in transmission. We can now resume normal programming. I have been quite busy working on the boat but too busy (or lazy) to write and upload the blog. I do apologise. Now I said I have been busy, that’s also not exactly true. Each year, at the start usually […]
With only the one weekend this month there is not a lot to show for it. I drilled the through hull for the ensuite holding tank evacuation. Now that is a tough psychological hurdle. I dont know if other boat builders feel it, but I find it really tough to drill or cut holes in […]
This month is very much shortened by a trip to the US that took 3 weeks of the month. But in the week toward the end I all but finished the cabinet in the starboard ensuite. Just the top needs to be glued down but before that will happen the vanity bowl and taps need […]
In the meantime I am finishing loose ends still undone around the boat, starting with glassing in cabinets that are made but for one reason or another are not yet glassed in. For some the reason is that I moved on to something else. One such cabinet is the curved cabinet at the base of […]
The shower sump is not directly below the shower. I have made a sump in the bathroom under sole that will house the sump for the vanity basin as well as the shower, and I will have a direct overboard for the kitchen with a 3 way valve before it goes to directly overboard in […]
