Yet another grey day in februari 2009

I have now ordered a set of prefabricated teak boards.
Ingemar Martinsson in Gothenborg, Webbsite

He is really friendly and seems to be one of the "old gofs" still working in the business.

I have ordered the floor panels, 4 of, one large in front of the pedestal and three smaller rear of the same, where two will be isntalled on the sides of the floor, where you put your feets when heeling.
Additionally I have ordered two panels on the upper sides, where the two genoa winches are mounted.
Furthermore two set of panels, one on each side of the companionway, where the small winches are installed, just below the windscreen.

Inserting som pics showing how it looks at the moment.
As always, never forgot to have fun :)

Okay, slowly but surely I am getting there, the teak is easy and fun to work with, and I think theresult speaks for itself :)
Only thing left to do is to sandpaper the plugs of the board just aft of the pedestal, why they are still to do is beacuse I had to modify it due to a small mistake by Ingemar Martinsson, not a big deal but still. Plus of course doing the old teak so it will have the same look as the new, I am relocating teh genoa winches more aft so I have better control over them when sailing singel handed and replasing the old "knap knips" with new Servoe Cleats (Ronstan).

The latest picuter on a finished hand hold and winch installation, tomorrow I will buy new springs to the Lewmar Rope Clutches, then they will also be mounted. Gonna be so nice hey :)

Okay, putting two pictures beside each other, 6 years inbetween and it shows

Beginning to be really satisfied now ;)
