Hi guys

Be sure to tune in for the Patreon live stream aboard Athena with special guest star Ava ;) Date and time to be announced later (it'll be after July 19). It should be a lot of fun! :) 

The cockpit is starting to take shape. This is without a doubt my favorite part of DIY. The point when you're starting to see everything come together. I'm so excited to start painting the boat! But before that can happen there is a ton of fairing that needs to be done and also the next month or so I'm going to focus on getting the hull ready for Coppercoat.  I want to be sure to get the Coppercoat on the hull before the temperatures drop below 10 degrees C. Yes, it seems odd to think about that while complaining about it being too warm in the shed but the summer won't last forever ;) 

Ava get's here in 3 days. Here being Copenhagen not Skive but nevertheless, I need to finish cleaning Obelix and vacuuming Jökull ;)

I hope all of you have had an awesome weekend :)

Sail Life - Big hole in the cockpit, hull moisture & the perfect cleat? - DIY boat refit

In this video, I fix the last big hole in the cockpit using fiberglass and west system epoxy. I've also found a different type of cleat that I think might be a winner. Last and also kind of least I give an update on the moisture levels in the hull.

Mads, Love the video! It makes me want to enjoy some of that glorious, glorious sanding of my own!

Mads, do you have a layout of Athena on paper or is it all in your head right now? I was just wondering how many berths will be in the new design? Sounds like the two aft berths will be work areas.
