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

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: April 2006
http://alberg30project.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
The Alberg 30 Project. The (slow) Restoration of a 1964 Alberg 30, hull #48. Thursday, April 20, 2006. Monday, April 17, 2006. Bulkhead prep and reinforcing the engine mount. Port side of the fiberglass bed. I also added a fillet to the starboard side of the bed, but didn't have time to tab it. Sunday, April 09, 2006. So I dissected the DeWalt angle grinder and the postmortem revealed a blown apart bearing. A trip to Lowe's in search of a replacement bearing turned up nothing (big surprise! That flapper ...

The Alberg 30 Project: August 2015
http://alberg30project.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
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...

Adventures of Salacia: Alberg 30 Refit: Bottom paint removal continued and hull blisters
http://svsalacia.blogspot.com/2015/06/alberg-30-refit-bottom-paint-removal.html
Adventures of an Alberg 30 named Salacia and her crew. Boat - Alberg 30. Thursday, June 11, 2015. Alberg 30 Refit: Bottom paint removal continued and hull blisters. I had been using a 6" sander to remove the paint. That thing made all kinds of dust. It removed the paint but was a bear to use. I decided to try scraping a majority of the paint. This turned out to be a great decision. In about 4 hours time I had scraped almost the entire side. Working away at little bit at a time, I put in 2 hours last night.

Adventures of Salacia: July 2015
http://svsalacia.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Alberg 30 named Salacia and her crew. Boat - Alberg 30. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Alberg 30 refit: Wet Hull. Now that all the paint bottom paint has been removed, (well about 90%, I still have a small section left on the starboard side) I can begin to formulate a plan to repair the blisters. But that repair is going to have to wait a bit. Because after getting down to the gelcoat and letting the boat sit for a few days these dark spots started to appear on the hull. Saturday, July 4, 2015.

Adventures of Salacia: November 2014
http://svsalacia.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Alberg 30 named Salacia and her crew. Boat - Alberg 30. Saturday, November 29, 2014. We are still alive and kicking! Alberg 30 refit coming soon! This stunning photo was taken with the camera on my phone. It's a beautiful sunset across the Elizabeth River, which is a pretty typical view during my shift on the ferry. This will allow me to refinish decks, hatches and just about any other work that will require her to stay dry. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Twitter Updates 2.2: FeedWitter.

Adventures of an Alberg 30 named Salacia and her crew. Boat - Alberg 30. Monday, June 22, 2015. Alberg 30 Refit: Bottom paint removal, starboard side and a Couple of Young Cruisers. It's been really hot here the last few weeks. Humidity has accompanied the heat, and heat indexes have been well over 100 for several days now. Regardless, today I just could no longer stand not getting anything done on the boat. I suited up when I got home and started the starboard side. They were headed to New England from ...
