This week’s main project has been turning the saloon mock-up into something functional. So far, I have gone through over 300 screws. Other projects have been refurbishing the port water tank, which also serves as a seat, and welding closed a hole in the coach-house roof that used to be a dorade vent. The dorade vent sat above the saloon table and had an annoying leak that, despite my best efforts to seal up, kept reappearing and threatening my laptop. Seeing as the vent is not original and Sylph has plenty of ventilation, I decided the best thing to do was to get rid of it.

All is well.
