Some updates what we did this weekend

Put a small N2K meter in the cabin.

Mounted small kickers on the mast on both sides

The finished shelf

We cleaned the boat

Some protection in the anchor well

Yesterday I put some EVA foam in the anchor well and dit some painting, today we did some painting too and did trial fit the anchor. I put some new carpet in the rudder bracket

Some updates of the anchor well and other small jobs

 Last week I did not post  an update but we did do some small jobs. Yesterday I put some filler in the anchor well and mounted an halyard lead and today we did some painting and I started with the anchor bow roll but I have not taken pictures from it.

Making shelfs and laminating the anchor well

 Yesterday we laminated the wooden shelfs with some glas and place them in a vacuum bac, with lack of tacky tape I used duc tape to seal the bac.  

Today we laminated the anchor well and made some plates for under some kicker on the mast. and afterwards we drove to IJmuiden to see the finished sea lock, made a picture of the old big one and the new one (500m long, 70m wide).

How the anchorwell wil look with the Spade A80

 Today I trimmed the drainhole in the anchorwell (no picture) and cut some carbon but we did not have enough epoxy to laminate that so stopt with the ankerwell.
We then spend te rest of the time with triplex shelf for the kitchen locker. The triplex is now in the right shape and only has to get a light laminate what we do at home.

I made a picture of the anchor in the new space, you can see also the cut dry carbon.

Glued the bottom on the anchorwell

Today we glued the bottom to the anchorwell but first we had to make it fit and rounded the edges.
I also drilled a hole in the bulkhead to fit a PVC pipe to drain the lower point of the anchorwell.

After the bottom was done we started with a shelf in the front locker and a shelf for the kitchen locker.
They are made from thin triplex and get a thin layer laminate.

Glued the sides of the anchor locker in place

 Today we glued the sides of the deeper section of the anchor locker in place. I fixed the panels with some  screws so they stay emplace during the hardening of the epoxy. The bottom will be placed next weekend and hope to laminate the also the corners and the blank foam.

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.
