The Incredible Hull: Hand rails and Granny Bars.....
http://theincrediblehull.blogspot.com/2015/05/hand-rails-and-granny-bars.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Hand rails and Granny Bars. Rough fit of new SS handrails and Mast pulpits on TIH. If it looks like something from an assisted living facility, that is exactly what it is. I don't know about you spry young sailors but for me moving around the boat in a seaway gets more exciting every year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Web links I like. Bryan Haas Whitby 42 Blog.

The Incredible Hull: Power Wash.....
http://theincrediblehull.blogspot.com/2015/03/power-wash.html
Friday, March 20, 2015. Nothing like a power wash to brighten the deck up. Marina dock work required a move to a new slip. This is the first clean view of the Bow Sprit, Hard Top and Arch. She is a little down by the head as the aft storage is empty. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Web links I like. Bryan Haas Whitby 42 Blog. Caribbean Soul - W42.

The Incredible Hull: August 2014
http://theincrediblehull.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2014. We do it right because we do it twice. That is definitely my motto and probably should be the motto for most marine maintenance outfits. I've been playing with the main companionway hatch for some time. TIH came with the standard teak turtle hatch which is;. B requires maintenance,. C is in pretty poor state. Instead I'm following Rob's ( Re-building a Westsail 42. Example and using 80/20 extrusion. Saturday, August 2, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Web links I like. The Resu...

The Incredible Hull: January 2015
http://theincrediblehull.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. The death of the CQR. If anyone is in doubt of the success of the new anchor designs you only have to look at the anchor section of your local consignment store. CQR anchors are represented on about a 5:1 ratio to other anchors. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Its hard to top a Hard Top. They don't always work, but I'm pretty happy with mine. Thursday, January 15, 2015. How many sailboats are capable of sounding correct "restricted visibility" signals? Just to refresh your memory;.

The Incredible Hull: February 2015

Saturday, February 28, 2015. Composting marine head, revisited. NOTE: If you find the following post too descriptive I'm not sure you will enjoy long term sailboat life. Its hard to believe that it was over 6 years since I first mentioned the idea of installing a composting marine head on TIH. The idea was rapidly knocked on the "head" by the boss. It helps that we have two heads on board, the forward one is a Lavac connected to a holding tank. 1 Body Waste (Urine and. Feces) does not magically disappear...

The Incredible Hull: December 2014
http://theincrediblehull.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. AIS Just my humble opinion. Its been a busy year for boat moving. I've clocked up just under 4,000nm. What have I learned? 1 I don't like rounding Hatteras in early December, even though we got a nice weather window and I was on a 50ft Cat. 2 I don't like 52 kt. gusting cold winter winds off the US coast. This is a good review of the subject. Http:/ www.shinemicro.com/aisoverview.asp. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Web links I like. Bryan Haas Whitby 42 Blog. Caribbean Soul - W42.

The Incredible Hull: July 2015
http://theincrediblehull.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. DeLorme inReach - Just the ticket. Full disclosure, I sell these things in West Marine. I got a loan of one from the company for my recent Transatlantic along with a paid subscription (Extreme Plan). But, that said, I love this device. In case anyone has been living in a cave for the last 20 years, communications when going offshore on a SMALL boat falls into two categories;. Some sort of Satellite communications. For satellite communications you have three main options;. Fine A...

Monday, August 17, 2015. Airhead is in.and I am well pleased. Final install of the Airhead Composting toilet. Thursday, August 13, 2015. I doubt if there is a boat geek alive who doesn't fantasize about the ultimate project planning software. One that would pull all the various threads seamlessly together. If I had spent the time that I have wasted on this quest, working on the boat, I would probably be finished by now. And suddenly I stumbled across; TRELLO. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
