Re: Placement of VHF, stereo, battery monitor and navtex?
Doesn't look dull at all Mads! Seems like you are making good progress :) I wish I could say the same - too much work again and equipping our RJ85 as she is planned for launching on May 4. This is how we had the setup in Sanlen earlier. Not so tidy :oops: The VHF was mounted hanging below deck to th...

Re: #332 restoration (ongoing)
I'm a bit concerned that I have made my holding tank to small (it's about 25L if my math is correct). On the other hand it's almost always only going to be me onboard and I don't plan on staying in one place for extended periods of time. I think you'll be fine with 25L. My experience is that you ne...

Re: #332 restoration (ongoing)
I'm basically done with the forward half of the boat :) I do however still need to build a holding tank. The biggest problem right now is finding PVC "pluming" pipes and fittings. I'm having a hard time finding anything that will allow me to connect my 38 mm hose to the holding tank. Look...

Very nice Just like I want to do except with the worktops - I plan changing them to white.TamTam wrote:We replaced our sliding doors with coloured acryl. It looks nice and kind of modern:-)
Because of the mirror effect, the kitchen area looks bigger.

Re: Speaker placement (in cabin)
How is the painting/varnishing coming along? :) Looking forward to seeing more pictures :) Lots of ideas coming up all the time. Newest are to replace all sliding doors with smoke-coloured acrylic and glue teak/coto veneer on the steps and top step/hatch. :D I had to move outside because too much d...

Re: Speaker placement (in cabin)
I placed 5.25" speakers in the small bulkheads above the shelf. Those fusions are 6" but should fit without problem.

Re: Volvo penta exhaust elbow (MD6A) out of production - hel
Hi Mads,
I had a MD6A in Sanlen before I installed a Nanni. It had a stainless exhaust elbow from UbiTrade.
You can also try Davids Mekaniska Verkstad in Gothenburg, they sell used VP parts.

Re: White bulkheads?
Clogging hasn't been the issue - the darn varnish is so hard it's almost like glass :evil: I wonder what Albin have used (or maybe some previous owner). I want to remove all varnish from the bulkheads before painting them white to assure proper adhesion. On all solid mahogany I use this scraper befo...

Re: Mast step truss, inevitably:(
You shall have to change the name of the RJ-85 to Polymer . :lol: We also own a Buccaneer18 racing dinghy, sadly neglected. Together they are Grannia, Diarmuid , and Fionn . It's nice to have the entire love triangle, but three sailboats is one too many. Great names! Monomer is the original name fr...

Re: White bulkheads?
Quick update: Making some progress. I have now sanded all pieces that will be reused in either way - varnishing or painting white. The old "varnish" was really tough, I used 40 - 80 grit paper and it still resisted sanding :shock: House is occupied with bits and parts :D Next step is makin...
