Im a boating accident waiting to happen

Arch linux, you download only what you need. Awesome wiki also.

Downsides is that you have to choose what to download and might have to configure the parts yourself.

To be honest, I had no intention to buy a fixer upper of this extent. The welding and rotten deck I discovered after I purchased the boat. It was a cheap boat, but not that cheap ๐Ÿ˜†

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

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

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.

My whole life. Currently Iโ€™m retrofitting a Dutch steel yacht, so I wonโ€™t sail my own boat at least until spring. But I attend the club regattas now and then.

They say: โ€œIt will get worse before it gets betterโ€

Iโ€™m sanding away in preparation for new paint.

Iโ€™m removing old antifouling. What a tedious job ๐Ÿซก

Did i screw up my account? Recently I canโ€™t get new updates from people I am following, and Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™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, Iโ€™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
