Guest Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Sanded and started painting my A-class G'day 'J-D'. Tell us about your 'A' class. Model, weight, extra smart gear? Wing or soft sail?Some of us here used to sail them - way back when? - I'm not saying how long ago - might make your-old-man look a tad young, eh. Ciao, james Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Got a Garmin gps to talk via nmea to a vhf radio and also a furuno depth sounder at the same time Sounds easy but whoo hoo what a fiasco. Had to read way too many manuals, at one stage the table was covered in them. No two of these devices has the same wiring colours. All good now as of 23:00 last night. Now have the Furuno LS4100 with nav info and dsc operational on the vhf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I kept on with sanding the inside of WT, then when I was totally sick of sanding I stuck some deck gear on. Feels like this project is going on a bit now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Saturday got my motorbike out for a blast. Sunday had a great day sailing about the bay. Great weather in Gissy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sailfish 0 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cut lots of steel out of the engine room in preparation for the 12-18hp(not sure what it is) diesel genny and dive compressor to go in. Made the frame they sit on so I can run it up as a unit out of the boat. Turned the old girl round so I could get ready to put the new 100m's of chain in but that didnt arrive so removed the diesel day tank and cut the off its mounts in anticipation for relocation further into the engine room.

SloopJohnB 324 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Sat morning hooked the PT on the tow bar, went to the job to witness a crane test. Parked the car and boat in the car park, still at 6:00 pm. Missed the race day. Good breeze, great for the overweight skipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
