The 1st Refit (April - March 2019)

Electrician began installing Webasto Bluecool S16 AC units, additional outlets, rolling back the latest Raymarine update due to bugs, new bilge pumps, antennas (GPS, rouge Wi-Fi/GSM, Iridium satellite), and auto fog horn.

Rigger removed our sails to have a UV wrap added to our Code 0, a more hefty zipper installed on our sail bag, replace a missing batten in the main, re-rig the reefing lines. Installed and tested the smart (anchor/tricolor/strobe) mast light by Marine Beam (uses the existing anchor light breaker to rotate light type and has 2nm visibility).

Steve designed new dingy rigging for the davits; uninstalled the propane HOB and oven in preparation for induction cooktop and convection oven, and added longer and stronger anchor chain. Rub rails were installed.

Nick and his team did a great job on the interchangeable screen/strataglass enclosures for the helm, forward and rear cockpits plus matching grill and dinghy covers. They created an arm to swing the grill out when in use for more space.

Bob completed the USCG and FCC Ship Station registration so we now have our MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) so we can complete our AIS (Automatic Identification System) setup.
