Interior Lighting

I'm starting to work on the electrical system for the boat. I will try to keep things minimal while still allowing for some items to make cruising easier.

This small LED strip light will give plenty of light in the cabin. I am also happy with the mounting as it is designed for corner installation so takes up very little of the small space in there.

It is a good thing now with LED lighting using so little power I should be able to get by with small batteries. The plan is to have separate batteries and circuits in each hull with solar panels to keep them topped up.

More on the Rudder Housings

Some more work here on preparing the rudder housings.

The process can be seen here for the mounting points to the gudgeon's, starting with plywood sandwiches shaped to fit the housing.

Then cut around the outside and glued in place.

 



 

Then wrapped up in a about 2 metres of 300 GSM carbon uni.



I have had to stop there for now on the housings as the boat will need to be moved forward to allow me to line up the gudgeon's on the housings. The transom of the port hull is hard up against a shelf in the garage so I'll continue with these once the boat is moved which I'll leave until later as once moved I have less space in the garage.
