Remembering -25° in +20°
Much more inspirational weather in Piriapolis today. Finally it feels like the spring it should be down here. So I thought it would be a good day to start tackling the inner frames of front windows. They are screwed to small plastic cubes that are, or should I say were, glued to the hull around…

Heat, glue and having the right tools.
If I sweat any more now I will have to start running the bilge pump! It is over 30°C in the shade, and more inside the boat. I am struggling with dismounting the aft toilet. Here ALL joints are double glued, precisely as they should NOT have been. Unfortunately this job was done during the…

Workshopping: Ocean Climate Research
I am quite satisfied with how the Journeyman is working out as a workshop space. I knew from some tests we did last fall that there is enough separation between the deckhouse and the salon to allow two different sessions to go on in parallel. And now the walls work great as whiteboards as well!…

Interior Home Stretch
Good way to end the week: The starboard aft cabin is complete. This means there is now only one space left to do in the interior, the corridor towards this cabin from the main salon. So we are truly on the home stretch, and hoping to be done with the last part next week! You…

Every yacht should have one…
I clearly remember the day I realized that my next yacht should have a workshop. We were hanging out in Ponta Delgada on São Miguel, preparing for the crossing over to Ireland. Next to us was a brand new Swan 65 that was just finishing it’s first season and heading back home to the UK.…

You’re in a maze of twisty little passages, all different.
The aft cabins are really fun places to work. There is basically not a straight surface anywhere. The frames and hull curvature changes rather a lot in quite small distances. And there are lots of corners and boxes protruding into the cabin from all sides, because of various installations around them. So it wasn’t easy,…

(Too?) Crazy Dressing Room Mirror
Here’s the answer to last post’s quiz: Right as you descend from the deck-house, just outside the main bathroom, I have placed a wall of small storage compartments where each crew member will have his/her own. For gloves, glasses and other small items you usually find floating around the boat. I wanted a mirror on…

Let’s do a quiz!
OK, it’s simple: Guess what part of the boat this is: Hint to those of you who are new visitors: We are currently working on the interior. First one to get it right wins a glass of the special “Journeyman Caipirinha” cocktail. (And the few of you who knew beforehand are not allowed to spoil…

Next Milestone: Salon Finished.
Things are moving along nicely. The salon interior has just been finished and work has moved on to the forward bathrooms. There is comfortable seating space for 9-10 people with this layout. I have also implemented the bar, as you can see in the upper right corner. (This is an extreme wide angle shot, so…
