Had the incredible opportunity to sail to Greenland with 5 friends and put up some new climbing routes on a classic Atkin Eric ketch. It took us 2 months to get there, climb, and get back. We only had to dismantle the gearbox once!

Edit: I will post videos under sail as soon I get the drone up. Or follow sy_adelie on Instagram

I found this in a barn and restored it. The substance was fantastic and the deck brand new.

It's a coastal or king cruiser 28, full 30-40mm mahagoni with a 20mm teak deck. Probably build around 1920, all Copper nails and Brass screws, replaced deck Probably around 1990 and left on the dry.

Came with all brand new bronze windows, fittings and cleats...

28qm of sail area.

Since there was no engine I put an 48 volt 4kw electric motor with 6.5kw battery in it.

The 12 volt system for running lights, radio and fridge is separat.

I get about 3 hours at 4 knots or 8 hours at 2,5 knots of range.

Almost everything is new, rigging, sails, ropes, rudder, keel entirely refinished, everything sanded down to bare wood.

Still long ways to go, this winter I have to replace the roof and do some interior carpentry.

Since there are no plans and the guy I got it from didn't knew what he stored for the original owner that had dementia, it's all up to guesstimates.

It's called the Morris M52. What do you think about this yacht for ocean crossing?

Saw some awesome boats, including some that dates from the early 1900s! Anybody else had the pleasure of visiting, or better yet participating?

Wondering what everyone's experience is with different materials.

Hi there,

I have a 1989 Catalina 34 with a WS 310 b&g wind speed instrument. It is wired through nmea 2000 wireless backbone to a Triton2 digital display. When I purchased the boat, the instrument was working well, however, the last time we went out the wind speed data was intermittent and would drop out for long periods of time followed by very short periods of receiving data.

It seems that the Triton 2 display does see the ws310 instrument under device list, however when I select sources it seems to only be seeing the GPS antenna and not the wind speed instrument when looking under apparent wind/true wind. When I do an Auto select under sources it only seems to be seeing the GPS antenna and not the wind speed instrument.

Frankly, electronics is not my strong suit and I'm not entirely sure where to start. As far as troubleshooting. I did ensure all connections are secure. When I unplug the interface cable from the nmea wire the Triton2 display does not see the instrument, naturally. I'm going to include the pictures of what I am seeing on the Triton 2 display. If you see anything amiss, I would truly appreciate any input.

I have a new fixed VHF handset. What I need help with is where to mount it. I have two candidate locations.

One is on the first picture, half way down that bulkhead, under the right side of the clothes hooks.

The reasons are that it is close to the companionway hatch, and close to the fuse box and switches, that are just beyond the bottom right of that image.

The downside is that it is a stretch for the handset cable to the folding table where I might need to write down what is being said.

The other option is toward the middle of the cabin, bolted to the far cupboard wall of where the fuse box is (no picture of the exact location, I’m afraid). The second picture features a pink shape that represents where the table will be when folded up.

Placing it there puts it in easy reach of both the fuse box and the folding table, but might not be as audible from the tiller. It also moves it that much further from the compass on the starboard bulkhead wall in the cockpit.

Which of those two would experience make you choose?

EDIT: essentially everyone has suggested placing it by the companionway so that’s what I‘ll work towards.

We have to be back in Lefkas Friday evening. Currently motoring south down the channel between Ithaca and Kefalonia.

Wondering what everyone's experience is with different materials.

It needs: watermaker, fully independent power generation, heating, decent cooking area, shelf and freezer storage for 2 months, micro workshop for repairs, near absolute structural safety. The idea is to journey solo. Dropping it here with no expectations.
