Im a boating accident waiting to happen

GM friends!

Awesome! It takes a real sailor to fly the spinnaker 💪

What do you think of the new colour #nostr

I wasn’t brave enough for nostr violet. But still pretty unorthodox colour for a boat.

Finished first coat on Tilde. Pulling an all nighter to make it happen 💪🏻

Thanks! It is a lot bigger than what I thought I was getting into. But it is still enjoyable

Good morning!

I’m doing the last preparations before applying paint to the top sides

Small steps

Tedious but important to restore her to her former glory. This is some of the first places that I found holes in the hull.

Never would have thought the straight grinder would be this useful.

Needed to remove the fittings for rigging and barberhaul in preparation for painting underneath the railing.

Can’t think of any way to be more precautions of the hardware when I first decided that the rusted nutts would have to come off destructively.

Can’t believe the stance “traditional” FIRE has on Bitcoin.

Good day #nostr

Last bit of red came off today. Tomorrow I will prime the rest and start working on the fairing

Also finished grinding down the welds where the exhaust port was.

“Look ma, no exhaust!”

Sure! It’s a Dutch built 41’ van de Stadt from 67. I have been patching holes in the steel hull by welding. Now work to finish the outside before winter. This winter I will make the boat liveable and install a new engine before sailing next summer

Left. I like the simplicity.
