1928 Classic Yacht
Stove Took a look into the stove burner so I could know what it will take to clean it and whether or not I could put a ‘super heater’ in it. What I found confused me. The burner seems to be of the style found in the larger stove – which has a 7″ burner…
Stove Went to the marine store looking for a swivel and came across some useful teak. Used some trim along the bottom of the stove. Installed a toothbrush holder. Not sure I like the look of it in there but its functional enough to keep it there for awhile. Rode Installed a swivel at the…
Replaced the fan and fan switch in the Dickinson Adriatic stove. I need to clean the end of the pipe feeding diesel into the stove – it seems to be clogged a little with carbon. That will be another day. Time is running out to order stuff! Fortunately; I think essentials are covered. Mast mount…
Built two little switch boxes. They are rough because the glue is drying. I will have to take them off at some point to sand and finish (paint or varnish). I can see a way to run a berth light out of each of these – may do that at some point. Will also look…
I returned to the boathouse in the evening. I removed the sketchy guts of an old dome light. I considered replacing it with an LED strip run around the inside but went for a traditional fixture with an LED bulb. I used automotive connectors as it seemed reasonable here. I bolted an Ikea wrench to…
Boathouse Installed a pair of metal brackets to protect the dock side corners from getting chafed away by the chains. Radome Purchased the new radome. Now where to mount it – the mast or the wheelhouse roof? Things to consider;
Picked up the new RIB from the Great Pacific dealer. Unpacked it the next morning. I was pleased with how well it was packaged. Easy and fast to setup. I had the mechanics take the motor for some regular maintenance while I rowed the boat over to Euphemia. Euphemia was sticking out by about 3/4…
Boathouse The old boathouse is still alive. Not sure what its future is but does not matter much to me at this point. Its old moorage is open. Was kinda surprised by that. The remaining boathouse is empty – perhaps that boathouse is going as well (the boat was for sale by the marina). Tender…
Time is running out to get parts before June. I have just received an; American courtesy flag, stove fan, and light glass. A few other things are still on the way. I have also scheduled the first engine service for mid May and that will include several service kits for use during the trip north….
Decided to temporarily fix in place the lower dash. Look forward to being able to hide/reveal this properly but not going to happen before the next cruise. I thought I was being clever by using these plastic bits but that did not turn out to be the case. I ploughed on anyway. I need to…
