1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
In preparation to testing the effectiveness of the new dehumidifier, I want to baseline indoor humidity and temperature in the cabin. Following the plan, I installed the combo sensor from Yacht Devices in the saloon and wired it into the SeaTalk NG bus.
Got a runner for the saloon floor. It was a bit too wide so had to trim it and sew the edge to keep it together. Put it over non-slip backing.
Pretty happy with the result. Nice to walk on and colors match the blues on the custom tiles we made for the fireplace. Let’s see how long this holds up.
Ran ducts and installed intake vents in the v-birth, head, and saloon. Not the best material for marine environment but I figured with humidity and temp stabilized these will be good to test out the system and will last a few years.
Getting a bit more organized. Installed hanging rods and brought order to PFDs
Removed the flimsy latches and instead installed new corner brackets that I made last weekend. Put in new thumbscrews. The table feels absolutely solid now.
Also tested folding it down. This could make for a great double-bed.
Tested position for the saloon table leg. Not epoxied in yet, just a dry-fit. The teak base needs a bit of adjustment to work with the curvature of the hull before I can glue it in.
Mounted telescoping table leg on new wooden base and routed it to shape so it’s a perfect circle. Next step is to adjust the teak so that saloon table is straight.
