The broken stove

A year ago, and in the end of the season of 2017, our stove decided it had enough and gave up. To get spare parts would cost more than to buy a new one and therefore we decided to do a re-make the whole kitchen. The old stove, or should we say "kitchen island", was a combined stove + sink, plus a never ever used fridge. We didn't even knew if it was installed correctly from the beginning, so we took the safe before the unsafe and through that away too.





 


With all the old stuff away, we had to plan how to fit the new kitchen and also, how to save as much as the old woodwork as possible. The bench lid had previously rested on the stove, now we had to build up a framework to keep the old cover up solution.

What to do with the fridge space?

In the old kitchen and under the stove we have had a fridge, now we thought of have a cooling box there instead. And the reason why it's a lot of space in there is because the water tank use to be on that side (now we have it in the front, under the beds). We thought we could have a drawer above the cooling box to maximum the space, but if so also have the cooling box itself on a drawer.  Yeah I know, it didn't looked much to the world. But there were still a long way to go before install them into the boat. Now it starts to look better!

Seaborn

And once again we're seaborn! Because of the COVID-19 situation, our Captain Keijo did all the work himself! The crew embarked later in the evening, with lots of joy!

Layers of layers

Just before Christmas 2011 Petter, together with friends, had taken up our new boat, during the Winter it should be inside at one small ship yard's garage. Now when the boat finally was up from the sea we could get a better look at the bottom. Petter wrote: " Kalle! Här kommer lite bilder på båten. Det finns lite att göra i botten för er nästa år. Skall försöka få bort rosten från badstegen när båten kommer in i värmen. Den nya masten är under behandling. Massiv teak, som kommer att oljas. Hej! Petter " We decided at that time it would be better to have a shorter mast. We also realized there would be loads of hard work to get rid of the layers of layers of layers of bottom paint. And after the first Finnish season we realized we needed professional help to get rid of all the old paint!
