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...

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!

The Tiller

There's two ways to control the Skäreläja; either "inside" the pilothouse  or in the stern. And if you steer the boat from the stern, you need a tiller. When our boat arrived from Sweden we had a provisional solution for the summer (of 2012) and a piece of oak... That provisional solution have been in the boat till this summer when I finally realized and accepted, the new tiller would not be done with magic. I have to do it myself. And even if I'm not a real woodworker the result turned out to be better than I hoped for!

Bring it on, father Winter!

Yesterday was a sad day. The summer is official over. Winter is coming. The boat is now up and covered, engine is preserved with glycol. We're ready for the winter.        The first years it took a weekend, two days, to build the structure and cover the boat. Yesterday we did it in less than six hours. We have begun to get the routine.
