Cutting in the ankerwell to fit a Spade A80

Today we started with some jobs from our todo list. One of them is making the ankerwell a bit different so that a Spade A80 anker fits.
I did discus this with Kurt a fellow F32 builder and he did came with a different solution than I had that time. Today we decided after some measuring to do it Kurts way and put the multitool in the well.
Tomorrow we will look if we can glue some panels together and do some sanding of the old edges.

Some pictures of my heavy weather jib setup, toilet door and Battle Sticks

It is a long time I put some pictures up again of some mods I did on my boat.
I have the heavy weather jib one year now and this year I used it a couple of time to get the boat more under controle and get some more comfort with stronger winds. Last week I did setup the long battle sticks the same way I had them on Thrill Seeker. We did put the toilet door in place, this time not with a zipper because that was not working.

Colligo Cheeky Tang fittings

Today we did place the Colligo Cheeky tangs on the mast, Gary did a nice job for me to make the thru-bold exactly on the richt length and make some special lock nuts. The loop is going thru the side stays later when the mast is on the boat again for transport. The side stay has a loop but that it not big enough voor the tangs so I use a loop to do so.

some update for the 2020 season

I did not post for a while but we did do some small things.
Some of the things are:

• Draining holes in the bunks.
• Draining holes in the motor mount.
• line guides for the furler line of the jib.
• New start battery.
• Remote for the autopilot
• New Coppercoat in the front and the back.
• Pad eye to block mast rotation.
• Cheeky tangs on the mast for the side stays.
• Paint on some scratches.
• Battle stick to steer from the trampoline.
• eyes on the mast mount to attache blocks
• Straten the mast mount after a incident with a loop  what was still attached  during lowering the mast.
• Front guide role on the trailer.
• Line guide for anker line.

HET races (Henk Eggink Trofee)

Last weekend we had our annual HET races (Henk Eggink Trofee).

They made a nice video from the start of the race on Sunday off group 2.

We had to finish in front of Fuchur a F33 to win the total race because they scored on the Saturday a one and a two and we did score a three and a one.

We had to beat them with +/- 3 minute  to get with rating in front of them and the result was that after calculation we beat them with just two seconds. This was the first race we did get to beat them on rating

Credits to Gary and Casper who made the movi I only had to down size it because the quality was to high and put some sound on it.

Ariella Bijl did shoot some nice pictures.

rotating mast windsensor

Today I finally had the rotating mast windsensor working, it was a bit off a challenges to calibrate because I had to decipher the manual and had to figure out how to turn (direction) the mast and to set the angle of the sensor. I first thought I had place the windsensor the wrong way but lucky it was setup right (The CV7 sensor must be installed with the “Nord” mark on the bracket aligned to the geographical North for a fix installation on shore and to the bow on a vessel. ) This text was not printed at my sensor but an other CV7.
