Vera nameplates

Back in 2013 we bought new milled nameplates, however when looking in the mirror the manufacturer probably had missed one or two layers lacquer in the finish. The signs has more and more looked pretty awful and now we're trying to fix that problem. However it might not be the easiest thing to undertake when we understood the challenge.

The manufacturer have probably painted with two component varnish all over till all layers were set. After that he painted the white and lightly sanded so that the edge between white and wood became sharp, then finished with clear lacquer over everything.

Even though the lacquer is off we now have a slightly problem as two components have been a bit hard to find and a one component lacquer will turn the white yellow... And somehow we need to get a protection over the edge between the white paint and the wood...

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!
