Top effort right there Gary - so you are a shipwright, cabinet maker, spark and interior decorator all in one. Assume that overhead reel is a Penn Senator of some model? What is the biggest fish you have caught with it? And with what bait or lure? And where?

Nice job there gary.

Might one assume this is the practise run before refitting a 34 footer.

I seem to enjoy removing , adding and leaving some parts on yachts.
This hinged seat on gas strut was well built but a hindrance to my needs. Now removed it will be wrapped up and stored in the bilges. The transom doors will remain open 95% of the time.

What makes the TV "smart"?
My idea of sailing is getting away from all that being in touch with the false world and being in touch with the real world.

40 inch TV and the sound bar is the way to go. Looking nice.

Smart Tv connects to my phone hotspot or onboard wifi and enables streaming Netflix,utube etc. it's onboard entertainment.
My idea of sailing is cruising , exploring , traveling , relaxing and living aboard full time away from the land lubbers.

been thinking about upgrading our tv (presently 24") but cannot find any bigger sizes that are 12v. is your new one 12v or are you using an inverter ?

if 12v, can you tell me make n model ? thanks

cheers,

32 " is the largest 12volt TV I'm not sure if they do a smart model though.
im going to run the 40" through a inverter coupled to 2x lithium battery's. Surprising it says on the back it only draws 70w which is very little draw considering the size.

+1, but each to his or her own.

Instead of slipping this time around, i went up on the hard for 3 days to do a few extra things.
After the pressure wash and wet sanding (not by me, my elbows are past it!) she got -
Topsides acid wash.
Removed old waterline tape and blended the edge that was left.
Reset the waterline - up 25mm at bow, to up 55mm at stern, prepared and primed.
Removed the factory original orange pinstripe above the blue boot stripe.
New flowcoat(3 coats) up from old waterline to top of new boot stripe.
New boot stripe in a more modern colour (Dark Grey) down from 110mm to 75mm wide.
New matching logo at bow (thanks to a good friend with a vinyl cutter)
Also did some gelcoat repairs, especially the transom edge.
Between all this she also got 3 full coats of AF, with extra coats on waterline and leading edges etc, and extra full coat on rudder.
Ran out of time with a new matching colour cove line yet to do, bugger!

Obligatory before and after pics:
- wasn't too bad under when it came out, but between the waterline and boot stripe was just cr*p, and couldn't be saved.

Going back in, 8am Monday.

- She likes her new waterline and sits pretty well on it I think.

Yep, everyone at Woolwich Dock were great.
It makes it so much easier when you can park the car next to the boat on a weekend.

BTW everyone - 5000 posts on this topic, with over 450k views. Pretty amazing!!

Looking good! Looks like new.
You cover the cost so you get to show it off.
Awful to have that work being done and not be able to be involved.

Yesterday I pulled a timber panel out so I can run some HDMI cables for the TVs , was surprised the quality of all the vented loops and the solid stainless compression post!
I'm Still not sure where all them loops end up but slowly working things out. Full credit to this Aussie boat builder!

No worries, my mistake. When i re-read the post it did sound a bit alarming!

Just finished 4 days on the hard for anti foul, polish & 5 year survey to keep Club Marine happy!

After 20 months I thought it would be worse than what it was. This is the first time I haven't had any scrubs in between haul outs - I'm a poor old pensioner now!! The worst was the waterline so I'll make an effort this time to get in the water & give the waterline a scrub.

I am pretty happy with Altex No5 so I put another 10 lts on again this time.

I am extremely happy with the survey - particularly the use of the word "excellent" 9 times :)
He did ping me for out of date flares which I could have sworn I bought "just the other day"!!

"excellent"
possessing outstanding quality or superior merit; remarkably good.


And what would he have said if you opened your bar fridge ???
