The Ballad Exchange

I must have been living under a rock :) I only just came across this thread. Long story short I had a look at the mast step truss aboard Obelix (#332). I can't see any corrosion above the big blob of thickened resin. I have none of the other signs (visible rust). I wonder why my mast step truss appe...

A few more photos to annoy you with. ;) Final test fit of the port side furniture. All major bulkheads are now glassed in place, may they never move again. Yay. One hundred fifteen liters of water, smack beneath a sleeper's ear: https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5563/15075575270_cb20d83be5_o.jpg Lucki...

Right now I'm leaning towards mounting it on the starboard bunk but I'm not sure

Thanks guys I've ordered one of those Lagun tables. It's on it's way to Denmark from Sweden. For some reason they are a lot cheaper in Sweden (Denmark: 1600 DKK vs Sweden: 1050 DKK). I'll post a picture once I get it mounted

Oh man! I'm so excited! :) I had only planned on visiting the refleks factory to get some inspiration but I simply could not resist once I was there. Good thing I'm single ;) Now I just need to figure out how much of the starboard bunk I want to remove. The rule is 10 cm to flammable material that a...

I really like the idea of an articulating arm that somehow fits in the mast track. Thanks, Bob I don't suppose you have a link to a photo?
