<\/a>\nScrubbing the lazarette<\/p>\n
We also installed a new Chain Locker cover in the v-berth.\u00a0 We got the idea while at the Chicago Strickly Sail show in January.\u00a0 I bought 1\u201d x 6\u201dmahogany from the local Menards and edge glued several pieces together.\u00a0 We bought an access door from Kendore Boat Supply.\u00a0 I took dimensions of the area and designed the chain locker cover using AutoCAD.\u00a0 I printed a full scale drawing and used it to determine the opening size and shape.\u00a0 I used this as a template to determine the cut lines.\u00a0 After 6 layers of varnish it was ready for installation.<\/p>\n We also filled several holes that were in the cabin top with Marine Rx Epoxy.\u00a0 The largest was about 1\u201d in diameter and was for an old power connector used for the Tiller Pilot.\u00a0 The others were for lag bolts used to mount the forward parts of the cockpit coming to the side of the cabin top.<\/p>\n I had varnished the companionway hatch boards over the last several weeks and we installed them this weekend.<\/p>\n We brought the batteries and installed them in the new battery box fabricated last weekend.<\/p>\n<\/a>
