S/Y Linnea

It’s not that tidy. But here is a small video from the interior of Linnea. While sailing. As you can see, the final finish of the inside is not there yet. But it works fine for some weeks of summer sailing. The reefed sail is badly set. We will try to do something about it.

Some days are slow, like today. Anyway, see our navigation table tell tale Lyth compass:

As you also can see, dust and disorder collects quickly.
We also worked on the head tank.
I mounted the discharge pump upside down three times. Did I say today was slow?
Head tank in the aft cabin
Also mounted the VHF and the […]

Forgot the crappy digicam, and the mobile was out of batteries after some work related e-mailing and chatting, so… no pictures today on the finnaly installed steering station portlights. They are actually a bit too large to be called portlights. More like windows. 200 machine screws. Each window hade five rounds of Sikaflex. Used up […]

I promise. We will only use this mock-up this year. Later we will build a new table out of mahogany and make it really sweet. I’m looking forward to it. But this mock-up tells us the real thing will be great. We haven’t decided where the pull-downs on the kerosene lamps will be fastened yet […]

Today we made the last fixes to the starboard 220 liters water tank. It is a Vetus flexible tank that sits in a compartment under the settee. Seems to be working fine, except for the grommets in the corners. One was ripped out when the tank was full. I suppose it was there only to […]

Some pictures of the progress:
Navigators bunk
This is a good illustration of how hard it is to take photos of the interior. Everything is covered in tools, and unpainted surfaces are ugly.
Steering station port frame.
8 mm stainless steel. 200 M5 machine screws. 13 mm thick polycarbonate. Will it hold up to the furious waves of the […]

Today we made a hole in the hull. It is always scary. But looked much better after we put a shining new portlight in it. Two pictures of the hole:
From the inside
And from the outside.
Quite often people want to see pictures from the interior. I normally come up with a really bad explanation that I […]

Ok, it’s time to launch Linnea today after a winter on land. Hopefully I’ll put up some more posts here after that. It is more fun posting when the boat is in the water. Some short notes on what we are up to:
- Ordered thicker bamboo from Germany.
- Made a mock-up of the cabin table. […]

After much head scratching we finally decided to order eight of these:

We bought them from Toplicht in Hamburg. Still no progress on the big window frames though… Casting bronze anyone?

Yesterday we started with a mock up of the cabin table, to be able to make the lay-out of the cabin sole segments. This is a big table. Might cram in eight for a drink and easily seat six for a three course meal.
We also rasied the sole in the cabin a bit and built […]
