Finally added grout to tile. Love the finished look!
Grout for tile
Varnished teak trim
Was a bit tricky as I wanted to get all 4 sides. Using SeaGold really helped as it dries quickly.
Managed to avoid heavy runs or drips. Love that chocolate teak color in matte!
Made cleats for window shades
CNCd some small custom cleats for window shade rollers.
Sanded and stained teak trim
In prep for varnish, sanded and stained teak trim
Painted brackets
Made mounting brackets for window rollers
Used square aluminum profile to make brackets for mounting window rollers. Rounded corners. Tapped the holes.
Re-installed finished panels
Finally put the galley and the new starboard locker back together, now with finished panels. Love that warm color!
Boat is back home from the yard
Took the boat back home from Spaulding Marine Center today. Motor performed well with the new panel and configuration. Definitely need to replace batteries: went from 90% to 30% in just 3 miles.
Varnishing panels
While my new shop is still under construction, it is still a useful place to do some varnish work. This may be the first boat project in the new shop!
Hauled out
Took the boat to Spaulding to haul out for the bottom job. Motor misbehaved on the way there – just 2.2kts max at full throttle, over flat slack water with no wind. I guess I’ll ask them to look at propulsion system as well.
