 Cockpit seats ready for painting, Zenbivy bed delivered

The Zenbivy bed arrived many thanks Katharina and the zenbivy.eu team - soon to be a video showing how it works but if you are impatient, have a look at youtube, especially those people that prefer a bed experience to a tight restrictive bag experience, I think this makes way more sense on a boat.

The cockpit seats got their final coats of epoxy (no microballoon putty was needed) and had a wash with water using a scotchbrite to remove any amine blush and scuff the surface ready for undercoating/painting, it did look very good clear finished though.

 Working on rudder, Stainless, mast step, companionway hatch and lots of small things and of course sanding,
and received my NEW epoxy goodies order,
so it is all systems GO!








this mount for the new nav system needs to be a bit more substantial than my previous old boats one as seen below



The companionway hatch with glass added to the rim, it will get a polycarbonate window in it that allows the navigation system to be seen with the hatch closed - the window shape and size will be finalized soon
