Respiratory protection is a must when moulding the fibreglass. Solvents are scary!

Other than safety gear it’s just simple tools: felt tip pen, sturdy scissors, beakers for mixing, aluminium roller and brushes.

This is the way, downscaling and stacking. My way will be selling everything but the boat

Yes, might might be to late…

Last valve and trough hull to be replaced by new composite ones that does not corrode.

This is one of the two biggest onboard Tilde, they are for draining the cockpit and deck.

One less worry.

I have been dreaming of a big orange Bitcoin spinnaker. But that might be asking for a visit by pirates.

Any books on this?

My whole life. Currently I’m retrofitting a Dutch steel yacht, so I won’t sail my own boat at least until spring. But I attend the club regattas now and then.

Thanks mate!

They say: “It will get worse before it gets better”

I’m sanding away in preparation for new paint.

I’m removing old antifouling. What a tedious job 🫡

Im still here 👊

Did i screw up my account? Recently I can’t get new updates from people I am following, and I’m not sure if I’m able to post this at all.

Sometimes the best you can do is to call in reinforcements. My friend helped me weld in the new metal where I found rust going through the hull.

Surprises like that is always stressful, I’m just thankful that I discovered the hole before going on the water, and that the sail association have room for Tilde over the summer.

Happy halving day!

Gin tonic with orange is one of my favourites.

Rudder and skeg are getting a much needed overhaul. Not the prettiest sight right now. #boatbuilding #grownostr

Milestone: The result after a year of tearing up the rotten deck, and preparing the new deck with fibreglass and topcoat finish🥳

As soon as I can get her ready, I will see you out there, Lighthouse 🙌

Ready for topcoat! After hours of fairing and sanding this winter the foundation is surely good enough (I hope).

Will put on two layers this weekend🤞

Wow! So beautiful mountains!

Have a good monday!
