Mounted back the guardian of the boat and all the plaques that used to be on the bulkheads before I made the new ones. Boat’s history proudly displayed.
Mounted plaques
Cabin temp & humidity sensor
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.
New floor runner
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.
Air ducts for dehumidifier
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.
Installed hanging rods
Getting a bit more organized. Installed hanging rods and brought order to PFDs
Saloon table – done
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.
Stained and varnished saloon table base

Epoxied saloon table base
Saloon table dry fit
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.
