When Jane leaves me alone on the boat the result is destruction! So on Friday the whole forecabin got ripped out to prepare the way for fitting our windlass on deck, a new chain locker, new water tank, emergency watertight compartment, new single bunk and storage.
In coming weeks we will be transforming this cabin as preparation of our 45 year old Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years. Two years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all electric (motor, cooking etc). All the rigging is being replaced with Dyneema and we are significantly re-working the cabins.
