After we returned to our slip we completed a task we've been meaning to do for months and keep forgetting. We hauled all of the anchor chain out onto the dock to inspect and measure it. Turns out we've got about 70m of chain marked every 10m. And it's firmly attached to the boat at one end! #TheBoatyard

A long chain snaking up and down a dock between two boats. There's a large anchor near the center of the frame.

418 I'm a Teapot

Restoring the Aries self-steering gear... Swivel head on the ladder unsiezed, new shaft (now M10 instead of 3/8") and bushings... Someone had tried to undo one of the grub screws that were stripped by hammering in a Torx bit which then broke off and was embedded in... Took some doing to get it out. Drilled out the holes and tapped them as M6.

Not any more. I cleared the whole cabin and ripped out the liner. Boat-home improvement time in #theBoatYard …
I might do white epoxy primer. Or a clear coat so I can see where the hull is thin. Not completely sure yet what I’m going to do before the new insulation goes in.

Shot from the cabin door: The liner is gone. The walls are now bare fiberglass laminate (and glue residue).
Shot from the bow hatch: The mesh structure of the fiberglass hull. Green gelcoat is poking through from the manufacturing process.

Back in #theBoatYard. I didn't post a lot from the cabin of Igele because it has this really ugly liner which looks like it's all mouldy. No idea why somebody thought that that would be a great idea. But hey, the seventies where strange sometimes …

From inside the sailboat Igele towards the bow. The wall has a ugly vinyl liner in off-white with dark random sized spots printed on it which looks like there is mould growing all over the hull.

Summer is here and the sun is scorching in NZ.
Today I built a deck cover from palette beams and a sail from the dumpster.

Keeps the sun and rain out while I patch the deck.

Pretty stoked to have completed the whole design and installation in a day.
