NB! The video only just got done processing. It's not even available in HD/4K here yet. You might want to hold off for a few hours if that is also the case where you're located :) 

Athena is now ready for an invasion of angry pixies! At least as ready as I can get her. All the electrician need to do now is to hook up the RCD and the MCB :) With a little bit of luck, I'll have AV aboard Athena next weekend. How awesome is that?! :D No more extension cords! And best of all a little bit safer considering there is no safety conductor in the extension cord I've been using. 

I had planned on getting started insulating the aft cabin today, but most annoyingly it turns out I might not be able to use the portlights I was planning on using. The hull curves about 5 mm and the manufacture mentions in their spec that the hull needs to be within 1 mm. I'll drop them an email later tonight :)

I hope you've all had an amazing weekend :)

P.s Small update on the hull. The moisture levels are still all over the place. I'm hoping they will stabilise once Athena in moved into the sheet. Also in regards to the homemade Hot Vac system, I've located what seems to be the mother load. More about that next weekend :)

Sail Life - Rewiring the AC, source select panel and insulating the aft cabin - DIY sailboat refit

This weekend I put the finishing touch on the AC installation. It's now ready for the electrician to swing by and hook up everything :) I get started on insulating the aft cabin but discover I need to go back to the drawing board. Last and also least I've picked up a scroll saw :) *** Links *** Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter

Ferrules connector in engelska, Crimp hylsa på svenska. I use it at work in electronic cabinets for both 24V and 230V.

I was really interested in that AC selector and thought it would be great for my rewiring. But $818 in Australia for it. ☹️
