Hi guys, 

Please note the HD and 4K versions are still rendering (slow youtube). I had a heck of a time getting this video to render, and then there were issues uploading too. Fingers crossed it works ;) Hopefully, the HD and 4K versions will be done rendering in a few hours (it's in youtube's hands now). 

I was a little surprised to see how well obelix cleaned up :) The potential buyer seemed surprised too. He had seen her in the water, so he knew how dirty she was before. He's coming back later in the week (after Obelix is back in the water) to check out the interior, but he seems very interested. I've been upfront about the things I know that might need attention in the next couple of years, and Obelix is priced at what I think is a fair to low price compared to other boats on the market. 

Who hates LEDs? I know I do! ;) Well, I don't hate them, but I am annoyed by the humming. I could have sworn I tested these LEDs with a Blue Sea PWM dimmer before deciding to order 20. I figured PWM dimming would be the same across different makes and models. I work with a bunch of electrical engineers. I asked one of them, and he couldn't come up with a reason why the LEDs were humming with one PWM dimmer and not with another one. Oh well, the hunt continues. If you know of a good source of G4 LEDs I'd love to hear about it :) 

Athena is a giant mess! I want to drop some stuff off at the workshop and tidy up before it gets too late. I'll be back later to reply to comments :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)

Sail Life - More digital switching & making Obelix shine - DIY sailboat

Good old Obelix needs a bit of cleaning before being ready for sale. In this video, I scrape the bottom, polish the topsides and apply fresh bottom paint. Aboard Athena, I install more czone digital switching boxes and get an annoying surprise.

Obelix is really looking pretty damn spiffy. And, no thanks, no seafood for me Mads. But very kind of you 🤣 Funny to see Obelix being to small. The original cartoon caracter has a rather more noticeable waistline🤔

have to admit I struggled with the techie content for the 1st 7 minutes of this video but all the Oblix hull stuff was great !
