Woody thats a darn nice looking boat, what is she?
Glad to here your fingers are working after the excitement, :)

They may be underway and not online-so-

Mona is a Westsail 32 Ralay and W00dy have pretty well re built, while living aboard her.

I'm not happy unless I'm complaining about something.
I'm having a very good day!

Another update, all four new Groco 1 1/2" seacocks, thru-hulls, and backing blocks are installed. We as well installed a new exhaust hose, installed all the new drain hoses for the cockpit drains and galley, the head will be done tomorrow we hope :). The first two coats of barrier paint go on tomorrow, the new lettering for the name on the stern is on the agenda as well.
Hope all is going well for all of you.

Good luck- fixed that problem. Took every single thru hull out(below waterline) and glassed over the holes.

I sleep peacefully:)

Congrats on the progress. Keep it up...the good weather is here!

Your mention of sink drains reminded me...I replaced our aging valley sink hose and sink drain this winter when I redid the counter.  The PO had used a regular chromed steel sink tailpipe.  It had a solid salt water connection to the bronze thruhull.  It was shiny on the outside but crumbled as soon as I grabbed it.  I replaced it with and outrageously priced marelon drain piece with a hose barb.  So this is a PSA reminder not to be tempted to use regular sink parts.

We had eleven thru hulls when we bought the boat, we removed four and glassed them in, we currently have two sink drains, two cockpit drains, a raw water intake, and a depth and speed thru hulls. In the future we will likely remove the speed and depth thru hulls, and use a shoot through depth gauge, and our garmins for speed, always more work to do :)

I'm looking to do the same. Seal up the head in and out thru-hulls (no longer used with the advent of the composter), remove the speed (never works all that well, anyhow) and depth thru-hulls and seal them up. Shoot thru hull seems to work well enough to justify removing a sink-the-boat point. I'll still have two sink thru-hulls, one wash down pump thru-hull (I really like that one), engine intake and the two cockpit drains. It's hard to get rid of all of them!

Charlie, what do you do for your galley sink?  Do you have a lift out one?  Or a graywater tank with an above the water pump out? 

CharlieJ

It's a stainless steam table tray, and lifts out to dump

Do you have trouble keeping water from getting under the sink?  Do you use it underway?  And how many pieces of silverware have you dumped out? ;D

CharlieJ

:)

Never have had that trouble that I know of. The edges sit on a raised lip made of teak

Have used it underway, yes. Not all that often though

None that I know of. If so,, only one or two.

Nice part is I can take it into the cockpit to use on nice warm days, and I do carry an exact duplicate stowed away in case the sink itself gets dropped :) By the way, the restaurant supply place sells them for $18.50

CharlieJ, your sink set up is frankly ingenious, gotta love the price :)

It's not winter any more but... Our bottom job is done, only have to put the ablative paint where the popits are, and that will be done this up coming wednsday. It's been a long haul, the boat gets splashed this up coming Friday. Me and my lovely wife have been uber busy since last August, it is about to pay off, could not be happier. :)
We hope all is going well for all of you.

This has not been a good year for boat projects for some reason. Most winters I spend much more time on the boat. This year, not so much.

However, the cabinetry and extension for the bunk are pretty much finished. I still need to build drawers. And new cushions.
