Just checking the reply guy.

GM friends! #plebchain

What do you think of the new colour #nostr I wasn’t brave enough for nostr violet. But still pretty unorthodox colour for a boat. Finished first coat on Tilde. Pulling an all nighter to make it happen 💪🏻 #refit #boatbuilding #grownostr

Good morning! I’m doing the last preparations before applying paint to the top sides #grownostr #boatbuilding #sailing

Small steps Tedious but important to restore her to her former glory. This is some of the first places that I found holes in the hull. #fairing #restoration #sailboat

Never would have thought the straight grinder would be this useful. Needed to remove the fittings for rigging and barberhaul in preparation for painting underneath the railing. Can’t think of any way to be more precautions of the hardware when I first decided that the rusted nutts would have to come off destructively. #toolstr #grownostr #metalwork

Good day #nostr Last bit of red came off today. Tomorrow I will prime the rest and start working on the fairing Also finished grinding down the welds where the exhaust port was. “Look ma, no exhaust!” #refit #grownostr

Oh boy! Here I go weldin again.. While I won’t receive any prices for my welding today, at least I’m getting better at it. And welding upside down was never easy. This is the exhaust port getting patched shut. Whether I make a new one is up for debate. #welding #grownostr #sailboat #refit

Good day #nostr The engine is out, I’m so relieved that it fit through the hatch and that the hoist was successful. #refurbish #grow nostr

Had to use violence on this one… #restoration #elbowgrease #grownostr

This engine might be too far gone. The reason I need to take out the engine in picture. There has been a saltwater leak that has sprayed the right side of the engine. For all I know it may have been going on for years before the boat got in my hands. Disappointing, but it is what it is. #refit #grownostr #madness

Good day! Task for the evening is to finalise preparations to hoist out the engine for overhaul/replacement. It’s an old Volvo penta that so far has seemed reliable, but heavy and with gearing/prop out of ratio. Also it seem to produce way to much power for this boat Another thing that I need to do is to treat rust under the engine. #refit #sailboat #grownostr

Good morning! Back to the fiat mine.

Repurpose and reuse. This is the rigging of an unknown dinghy that has been laying around. It has been separated from its former companion, so I hope it will serve well as a spinnaker pole. Just need to figure out if the diameter is suited to handle the loads of a much bigger sail. #sailing #repurpose #grownostr
