WET BOX

Wet-box for the double hung aluminium window now installed with fibre glass tray draining to outside thru a glued in copper tube. Now closed in with inspection hatches.

FOOTPRINTS

Just receivced these pics from David Thatcher who now has FOOTPRINTS a Shoestring design that I did for Kieth Levy back in '94. David has designed and fitted a head and installed a composting toilet. I also plan one though I will build my own rather than a manufactured one.
Neat job David.

CLOSING IN

The deck saloon is now having its 18mm ply walls fixed in place. Starboard first. These we are prepainting befor glueing and screwing in place. The framing will be varnished.

LADDER

Will adapt this al ladder as access to the top deck thru a hinging hatch. This is a bit of a dead end here so will not be in the way. Will still hinge at the top.

CO-PILOTS SEAT PT 2

Mostly in place now .But if you compare with before, I did change the proportions-made the seat smaller and the foot space bigger. Will have to make good and just as well it will be painted! Much easier to get into now.

WINDOW

The sliding window on the port side of the wheelhouse has been reinstalled on its runners.

HOSES

The hoseman came and connected the hydraulic pump on the engine to the motor on the anchor gear. There is also the up/down control you can see here. Hoping to operate it with my knee when using both hands when tailing on the rope drum facing aft.This is for the cargo boom-hauling dinghies etc.
