In Reflection

The yacht has been a bit of a mission but we will have ended up with almost new boat, the only things that are not new are the hull and deck plus the mast, 3 old sails, anchor and Furlex.
The rest including all rigging and halyards, wiring, motor, instruments, heads, prop, prop shaft, upholstery, internal bulkheads, galley, fitted furniture, interior deck lining's, and stove.
Outside we have a new dodger, jamb cleats and a repaint.
I've still to find out if the Wallas heater, and the fridge work, I've had a temporary work around on the fridge and it looks as if it still works, the heater makes all the right noises, we will know when we get the replacement fridge thermostat and the new switch for the heater.
The inside looks OK with it's new lining and deck fittings and LED lighting system, while I was doing the rebuild we insulated the hull with 40mm of polystyrene then lined it with Autex fabric, as all the portholes have been replace we have happily been able to install a owner designed double glazing system, using the remains of the old porthole frames, looks quite professional, still time will tell.
