Interior and Systems Refit: Part 3: Evolution of Galley and Navigation Station

The condition of the Galley and Navigation areas, especially the interior woodwork was in very bad shape. Numerous amateur carpentry attempts had obviously been made over the years resulting in a patch worked mess. The only real solution was to gut all but the basic structures:

Out With The Fixed Ports, Carpentry and Headliner

Sausage-Making Isn't Pretty

Stripped Bare - New Wiring for Overhead LED's

Evolving Coach House and Test-Fitted Ports

Removal of Alcohol Stove

Galley in Progress - New Countertop and Sink

New Wet Locker and Bins

Quarter Berth in Progress - New Ceiling

New Solid Teak Plank Sole

New Location for Breaker Panel at Nav Station

What's in a Name?

COUP D'ETAT

My wife selected this name, claiming that I effectively launched a marital 'coup' to buy and restore her and that my kids are likely to return the favor one day as teenagers! In the meantime, their dinghies are named, MUTINY and ANARCHY

(ex) SITZMARK

Named by her original owner, Dr. Walter 'Doc' Nueman: A hollow made in the snow by a skier who has fallen backward.

(ex) STEWBALL

Named by her previous owner, Kevin Carse, Jr.: A racehorse that never drinks water, only drinks wine...his bridle was silver, his mane it was gold, and the worth of his saddle has never been told.
