Jane is back and we do a little more destruction before starting to rebuild the forecabin, starting on our first watertight bulkhead using a technique from Ian Nicolson to avoid hard spots in the hull where the bulkhead is attached.

In coming weeks we will be transforming this cabin as preparation of our 45 year old Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years. Two years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all electric (motor, cooking etc). All the rigging is being replaced with Dyneema and we are significantly re-working the cabins.
