Regardless, I am really pleased with these masterpieces of sturdy, stainless beauty!

    The heavy duty template makes it a cake walk to drill precisely and cut perfect openings. Itching to install, but I am epifanes-ing the teak spacers, so it will be in the next week or two to show the final product.

    Okay Kyle


    I am 100% envious now of your new port lights!!!!! Those are going to add a major upgrade to your boats appearance. Not to mention the huge improvement in function.


    I really wanted to do those on Destiny but when I though about all of the other work I still needed to do on her I decided not to do it. After all I really want to sail my boat and not just restore her!


    Kudos Kyle, I can't wait to see them installed.

    Cover installed. Nice upgrade over body, er, sandbags in the forepeak.

    Also, I have the cardboard and 1/8" luan templates for this piece if anyone wants 'em.

    Very nice!

    What I find amazing is how much time a project like this takes. But it not only looks good it also serves a useful purpose.

    Are the sand bags in the front for stability in waves? The previous owner of my aerial has put some very heavy cinder blocks in the v-birth and I've almost taken them out. If I take them out I assume the boat will bounce more in the waves.
