Making good miles down the coast with Ted and Nan on their fabulous Island Packet 485.

Winds are 15-25 and the swell is 8ft at 7sec so not the easiest first passage for Crescendo but everyone is handling it well. đź’Ş

Scrap stainless swim platform.

I think it turned out ok.

We are thinking about covering it with composite deck planking.

Anyone have experience with that? Or better solutions?

Over the years people have left all sorts of stainless and we happily take custody of it when we can.

We have been wanting a swim platform off the transom for years and now I think it’s time to make it happen.

Next project was replacing the windlass.

The old windlass was 50 years old. The bearings were shot, the shaft was worn and the motor severely corroded and occasionally shorting out. It was also old enough that they no longer made parts for it.

Time to go.

We upgraded to a new 24v Lofrans Falkon.

Unfortunately the position of the gypsy was physically lower than the old one. This meant that we needed to build a mounting platform to keep the angle of the chain to the bow roller within acceptable limits.

Platform is 3/8” steel, all welded with stick. 6011 root pass and 7018 cap.

All new upgraded wiring inside as well. ......
