What were using to scrape with? Was it just a hand powered scraper? Seems
like that stuff was peeling off pretty easy.-=p

I stripped the bottom paint on Regina Oceani this weekend using Peel Away

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Go to Home Depot. Buy a roll of Reflectix. It will cover the interior of
your refrigerator like you want with some left over and you can then start
covering your lockers as well.They don’t carry it at Home Depot (not at mine anyway), but Reflectix makes
a Double layer that you might look for online.

I am thinking a two staged approach. First I need an immediate cool boost
for a trip I am starting next week. Planned material for that is an
insulated/quilted space blanket (Academy Sports) for about $4.95 that I will
cut and make a blanket to lay over the food stuff to keep the cool from
rushing out when I open the thing to get the mayonaise. Kinda like that
“cool bag” they sell at Walmart. That’s why I need inside diminsions.
I saw in one of the sail mags recently where they sell a “custom”
refrigerator/icebox blanket for 15cents per square inch. I am assuming the
concept works, so I make the blanket for $4.95.Then, later, I plan to do the insulation job similar to what Tor did. I
have a friend who did almost the same thing with his Pearson 39 and it
worked great. He used that Home Depot white plastic paneling and 5200 over
some kind of foam or styrofoam. I will have to look at the old write-up
that Tor did.

Does anyone have the inside dimensions (length/width) of the original
refrigerator box. I’m not at my boat and I want to make an insulation
blanket to help hold the cold. Long range I plan to add permanent insulation
to either the inside or outside and would like to get some ideas from those
who have already been there.

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Dawn and I have been more busy than we have been the past 2 years… not
only are we doing our double shift (work + boat work) but we’ve been also
having a yard sale at the condo. If the person buys our bed on Tuesday
we’ll officially be liveaboards that evening. Our condo is still a mess
(big plastic bag on the building and construction to repair the building)
but we’re keeping to our personal schedule.As far as project go, I have been converting my PC, monitor, etc to DC power
and cleaning up the wiring in the aft locker (5.5 hours in that locker
today). Our Spectra capehorn extreme installation is also rolling along. the
control side of things are mounted in the starboard hanging locker. I plan
to mount the membrane and clark pump under the salon floor on the port side.
The POR is to lag bolt a 3/4″ piece of marine grade plywood across the
stringers just aft of the main mast and to hang the watermaker membrane
from that. I’ll pre-drill the board to fit the watermaker frame and put
tee-nuts into the board so it can be removed if needed. Installation won’t
require this, but we’re also thinking of adding a hatch into the salon floor
adjacent to the pump to facilitate maintenance.I am sooooo behind on taking pictures of things, might be able to “Ketch-Up”
on that this weekend as well.You might enjoy my watermaker unboxing video:

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Sold the table at a swap meet. I thin the guy was going to put it into a
Southern Cross. We’re not table eaters… and the table took up WAY too much
room in the salon for our likes anyway.I’ve been thinking about a removable coffee table setup to set your rum
drinks or Balvenie Portwood scotch on, but that project is way down on the
list.-=p

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!Not sure if I replied to you…
We definitely wanted to have a two shelves in that space and it turns out
the lower setting for the “seat” makes that easy. We could have put one big
door on the front, but it just seemed easier and visually consistent to have
the same doors as the new cabinets up top.-p

Aloha Patrick: I’ve also eyed up that dead space on the v berth as a great

door that opens to port with wider shelf facings along the floor and the
mid level shelf. Any particular reason for mounting 2 drop down doors on a
fixed face? It really does look good by the way.Dan Kalinowski

Thanks Dawn and Patrick!I have the benefit of having my headliner down at the moment, so I’m going
to put a schaefer padeye on the deck.
http://schaeferhardware.com//SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=267As some ideas, attached are some pics of cunningham configurations from the
Harken catalog.
I like the line through the sail more than the cunningham hooks, however
unlike in the drawing it needs to be detachable, but I don’t think 8:1 or
more is really necessary. I’m going to go with a single block at the top
with a becket and a fiddle with a cam cleat on the bottom achieving 3:1 if I
have that correct.Garhauer 25-14 US Single Blocks with Becket & Shackle

Wait for it………….. I’m in the same boat you are.
All kidding aside, my sailmaker said the same, get that cunningham working.
Just a side note, not worthy of a thread, removed the paddle wheel for the
knot meter today, nice hole in the boat._______________________________________________

Patrick,
I have a Cunningham rigged for my mainsail. I also use this tackle to
reef the mainsail. It is just a 3:1 tackle attached to a padeye near
the deck base of the boom. I have a cunningham hook on the top of the
tackle which can be inserted in the Cunningham cringle on the mainsail
or either of the two reef cringles. I just checked and can’t believe
with all of the rigging photos I’ve put on the website I don’t have
one of this. I can provide some if it helps.Regards,

should be better.
That tank under the sole is great but can’t make it happen right now.The bladder question is a good one and can probably be worked out.

and found one of the “bunny” gcs was way low in sp. g. I ran an equalizing
charge on it and brought it up as close to sunff as could be expected for a
battery that had seen two seasons of heavy use and one sitting in the yard.
These much disparaged batteries, bought cheap at Sam’s club, worked well for
us, being charged by the dedicated 150 alternator when anchoring and
weighing. One whole summer in Maine and down to New Jersey and one in Long
Island Sound and one in the yard.Before you start to equalize, learn how to use a good hydrometer, one
marked in .0005 increments, to measure sp. g., study up on the procedure and
make sure to use a charger that provides this option. Skip the color-coded
ones used to test auto batteries. You will need to go on the Internet to
find one. I’ve forgetten who made mine, but Allan Tereshko, who now owns
hull #206, aquired it with the sale and maybe he will post the
manufacturer’s name for all to see.Post generated from Pearson424 Forum using Mail2Forum
