NB! Video only JUST got done processing. It might not be available in HD/4K where you're located yet. If that is the case - try again in about half an hour :) 

Yet another fun weekend aboard Athena comes to an end. This weekend I managed to test-fit the cool new electrical panels from Blue Sea and get the first coat of varnish applied in the aft cabin. 

If you're located near New York City and have no plans on April 2. Feel free to swing by and say hi - more info about the meet-up in the video :) 

I hope you've all had an awesome weekend! :)

Would have loved to meet up in NYC but my wife an I will be arriving in Brooklyn from Australia 3 weeks later for the TEDfest conference. It probably all for the better anyway - My wife has the hots for you Mads - the way you clean up after sanding, use masking tape before painting, plan to do things before starting - you are the man that I'll never be.

Hi! If you want to avoid any extra cuts and hinges on that side panel, you could probably get away with not using cuts and hinges at all. Instead make the entire panel removable like it is in this video. Attach inside the panel a wooden frame that just barely fits inside the box and keeps the panel from moving sideways. Underside the deck, attach a strip of wood to prevent top edge of the panel from tilting off and put a draw latch underside on the box to hold everything in place. Use couple of short strings of rope attached inside the panel to work as hinges when the panel is removed. This kind of removable panel is not as easy to operate than the one with hinges but you shouldn't need to open that panel too often anyways after all the wiring is done.
