Salizanda and Me: Motor and Electrics

http://salizanda.blogspot.com/2009/03/motor-and-electrics.html

I discovered all I know about electrics at the age of seven when I stuck my finger in the back of a tube radio. However, local regulations for our local sailing area along with many other local authorities for inland waters in Europe, prohibit IC motors. So I was faced with the reality of pulling the diesel motor and installing an electric propulsion system. I had already made many mistakes and amassed a collection of unusable junk. My present system comprises of the following components:. I want to spen...

Salizanda and Me: The Topsides

http://salizanda.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-topsides.html

I really wanted to have the topsides clear. I’d seen an Atalanta 26 before with clear topsides and fallen in love with it, but with all the patches, ble-. Mishes and paint filled gouges, I realized that it would not be possible. Then I discovered a veneer company in Vienna called “Liechtenstein. 8221; This place was a wood lover’s dream come true. An Aladdin’s Cave; a vast hall filled with stacks of the most beautiful and exotic wood veneers imaginable. When the whole laminate was com-. The final finish ...

Salizanda and Me: Atalanta 26

http://salizanda.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post.html

Is a light-displacement, twin drop keel 26 ft yacht first built in the 1950s, designed by the famous Uffa Fox. And built by the same craftsmen who built the Mosquito. It is a beautiful yacht but not a mere ornament, it performs well and can sail in shallow water or across the Atlantic. As it is a trailer-sailor you can keep it at home and avoid paying mooring fees. Gavin Atkin has written an interesting article on the Atalanta which has been posted on InTheBoatShed. 22 January 2009 at 18:11. Diverse....

Salizanda and Me: The Cockpit. Part 1

http://salizanda.blogspot.com/2009/02/this-blog-has-not-followed-restoration_3797.html

The Cockpit. Part 1. To keep it vertical and steady. I then removed a core with the screw in it and plugged the hole with a hard or softwood dowel set in thickened epoxy. If the hole was cut in a finished piece as in the shear strake, I inset the dowel far enough that a 15mm hardwood plug could be used to finish it. Using the Fein multitool. With assorted cutting heads, I cut out whole sections and as the cut was so fine I was able to use them as accurate templates. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Salizanda and Me: Colour on the Thames (1935)

http://salizanda.blogspot.com/2009/01/blog-post_31.html

Colour on the Thames (1935). In my preamble I stated that this blog will not be exclusive to the Salizanda restoration or just to boat building but will also serve as a platform for other maritime activities. I found this delightful film of a journey down the Thames filmed in 1935, posted on one of my favourite blogs InTheBoatShed. This short film along with many others worth browsing can be found in the British Film Institute National Archive. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Salizanda and Me.
