    Moin JRA,

    I haven't posted anything in a while. I'm currently redoing my blog and want to finish that before posting anything there. We're pretty much stuck here at the moment. Stay warm if it's winter where you are too. :)

    Is that Bleckede, Frank?

    Moin Frank,

    thanks for sharing! Looks like pretty solid ice, any issues with ice pressing? You don't use any device to melt the ice around your Bold, like pumping up warmer water from below up to the surface, do you?

    Luckily, Ilvy's marina in the Kiel fjord is rather ice-free.

    Cheers

    Paul

    I suggest that you on one of the panels fit a HK parrel and see how it looks.
    If it removes the crease in that panel, then you should consider fitting these to the other panels as well.

    Just a thought,
    Arne

    Arne, thank you for your thoughts, they are welcome!

    Btw. you probably already spotted it yourself, I followed your tutorial to the most parts, thank you for that. Really straightforward.

    Nagging about Hong Kong parrels


    This looks promising.

    However, I notice these well-known diagonal creases.

    I suggest that you on one of the panels fit a HK parrel and see how it looks.
    If it removes the crease in that panel, then you should consider fitting these to the other panels as well.

    Just a thought,

    Oops, I haven't posted any sail photos or videos. I've only sailed a couple of times. I'm too soft to motivate myself to move the boat when temperature is below 10°C. :)
    The rig is still a bit provisional here and there, but everything works good so far. A bird flew into my VHF antenna. WHY?
    But I also did other useful things and finished many small tasks mainly inside the cabin, e.g. I've made soft padeyes out of epoxy and done a lot of sewing. But I haven't taken any photos of that yet.

    Here is a short video of my first sail in November

    What are the dimensionss of the plastic dome and where was it purchased feom, please?


    Thank you Jami. The dome has an inner diameter of 300 and an inner height of 130. I found a price list, unfortunately only in German, but it should be enough to give you an overview of the prices, sizes and the contact details of the manufacturer.

    Frank, I hope that is keeping you cosy then! I expect you are pleased to have fitted soem suitable-looking insulation;-)

    Adrian,

    yes, very cosy. Only shirts and shorts needed :)

    I'm happy with the parts I insulated with 20 and 40mm XPS. The parts below the chine logs require some attention. I have to clean them ~biweekly  to avoid mold due to condensation. But this is the nature of things I think.
