The Alberg 30 Project: June 2015
http://alberg30project.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The Alberg 30 Project. The (slow) Restoration of a 1964 Alberg 30, hull #48. Monday, June 29, 2015. Same song, second verse. The pictures below are from yesterday's work. I didn't snap any pics today. Sunday, June 28, 2015. And the beat goes on. This is the first summer that I've been able to call mine. Every other summer in the last 10 years has had something - either master's work, certification work, travels, or whatever - but this summer is mine! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Alberg 30 Project: July 2015
http://alberg30project.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The Alberg 30 Project. The (slow) Restoration of a 1964 Alberg 30, hull #48. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Settees, Galley, and Ice box/Nav. It's amazing how many steps it takes to cut one piece of wood to fit within the contours of a boat's geometry - especially when the power tools are on the ground and the measurements and fitting are within the boat (via a rickety ladder). I've had this project for ten long years already! Had I not been so hot and sweaty and covered in sawdust, I could have taken a nap.

The Alberg 30 Project: August 2015

The Alberg 30 Project. The (slow) Restoration of a 1964 Alberg 30, hull #48. Sunday, August 30, 2015. This and that…and back to school. Today was a hodgepodge of tasks, most of them fairly small but all part of moving ahead. I glassed in the vertical supports for the settee backs and cut a bulkhead for the under-sink galley area. Glassing it in had to wait because I have some sanding to do in that area first. Friday, August 21, 2015. Port shelf done - glassing next. I also installed a 1x2 cleat along the...

s/v Natalie B: March 2015
http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. Refit considerations and priorities. Last night we did a little informal research (Youtube videos) into composting toilets which got me thinking about what our priorities will/should be when we start the refit of s/v Natalie B. The admiral is very particular about certain comforts so there are a few things not commonly found on an Alberg 30 that I need to consider. In no particular order). Shower with hot water. Storage for blankets/cozy clothing. Dodger and Bimini - our boat incl...

s/v Natalie B: 40 hour dash
http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015/01/40-hour-dash.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. I spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday driving to Tehachapi, CA and back to get a trailer for Natalie B. The trailer will need a little work before it is ready to carry the 9000 lb Alberg 30 2500 miles, but we are now one step closer to bringing her home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

s/v Natalie B: The Trailer for Natalie B
http://svnatalieb.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-trailer-for-natalie-b.html
Thursday, August 20, 2015. The Trailer for Natalie B. So I had the axles replaced, I added fenders and I reinforced an area between the axles and the receiver where there was a butt joint weld in the 5" C channel frame. I replaced the tires, added two spares, replaced the 2x12 that the keel rests on and gave it a paint job. I was happy with the results. The final addition was a weight distribution system with dual cam sway bar control. Apparently, the thing to do, is self medicate and go bowling. As you ...

The Alberg 30 Project: July 2013
http://alberg30project.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Alberg 30 Project. The (slow) Restoration of a 1964 Alberg 30, hull #48. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. This is a milestone for me - and for the project. I've actually begun reconstruction. Head (port) and hanging locker templates. Labels: alberg 30 interior reconstruction. Friday, July 12, 2013. I've been acquiring bits and pieces to take care of a few small issues before I can begin more major items like installing the stern tube and engine beds. With that done, I wiped down the area with acetone - I'd al...
