Fall/Winter Projects, Let see them.

[Aft Deck Capt]

We've had the boat for 4.5 years. Rebuilt the raw water pumps last year so it was time to attend to the rest of the cooling system.
- New coolant and raw water hoses & clamps
- Pull and descale both HX tube bundles
- Pull and descale the exhaust elbows
- Clean the engine oil cooler HX plates
- Sandblast & paint the HX bonnets, oil cooler covers and coolant tubes
- Replace all zincs
About 70% complete, can't wait to light the old Cats and check for leaks.

Desperately trying to get our liveaboard ready for the loop starting in April. Been working non-stop since September. All major projects written up at the link below. These do not include over 100 other smaller items on our "must do" list. We're down to only 7 mandatory items left!

Sorry, unfortunately most of the projects are very specific to our Great Harbour N37.

Doing all work on a skinny finger pier while living aboard makes things interesting!!!

Our Allweather doesn't have a rack or anyplace to store a dinghy onboard so we tow it. Maybe a rack is in the future. The boat is designed by: https://www.jbwatercraft.com/unicat-2-4 One reason I chose it is because it is very light and should tow with minimal drag and tow straight.

Nice table, is it curly maple? Plain or plywood?

L

Maple ply with oak trim. The hard part was bending the hardwood. It is radius edge, smooth bottom, epoxy treated with spar verathane top coat. Recessed in some threaded inserts and it bolts right onto the aluminum adjustable base. The bird's eye pattern really came out with the gloss coat, so I opted to let it be the star instead of covering it up with a map.


Thanks for the kind comment!

I love the idea of the captain seat. I have a seat but no arm rests. I think i might copy your work.
