Last works before the season.

It is supper funny, because my plans were to do nothing this year. Suddenly in February I was thinkig, Ok I should change just the windows to make my boat look cooler  :) At the end I ended up changing all the windows, paint the deck, paint the hull, changing the water outlet, changing the photovoltaics, now I got 50W cell, and of course all the small things which are associated  with those stuff ;) Anyway I finish today, after one month heavy works, and I like it how it looks :)

New deck paint.

Before the start of the season and after the change of the portlights I decided it will be a good idea to renew the deck paint.
In the areas where I walk I placed the Interdeck beige antislip paint from International.

Interdeck Sand Beige

In the other areas I went with the Super Gloss HS pearl white paint of International.

New antifouling.

It seems that the idea about the antifouling from the last year is working. When the boat got out of the water the soft antifouling was washed out and the hard antifouling Interspeed extra was staying:

After that I placed on top of it new layer of Cruiser One antifouling:

Looks like we are ready for the new season :)

New portlights and deckhatch.

I decided it is about the time to change my boat glassing :) My friends were joking that now I will be able to look and see through my windows :)

For a deckhatch, I went for flushing deckhatch 500x370, R=42 from gebo from a local shop:

The same type of deckhatch was recommended on Jeremy Rogers web page.

The portlights, fixings, and linings I got from Jeremy Rogers Limited:

Looks good :)

I installed the deckhatch so it opens forwards. The idea behind is when it is open in calm weather the accidental wave splashing will not come inside.

It is time now to paint the deck I think :)
