Good sunday #nostr
Sometimes I need to remind myself why I have taken on this big project.
So here are more pictures from sailing Tilde home.

That’s right, I haven’t thought of any designs yet, would be nice to break up the large bow a bit.
To incorporate the ~ would be cool. She has that name because then I always have home with me.

Nice, I’m also going to lay some solar arrays on deck. It will be exciting to see what my energy budget will be like 😅

I know the feeling, stay safe!
What happened when you had the boat at the mooring over the winter?

2024-10-20 09:23:12

Good Sunday friends!
Looking forward to go sailing again.
Here is upwind sailing at the North Sea

2024-10-19 16:11:34

- reply

Yes looking forward to having a functional boat!
The build:
-New prop shaft and shaft seal.
-48v battery system
-12kw electric motor
Also to be done due spring:
Rudder, rails, mainsail boom (might order one in aluminium)

2024-10-19 14:59:49

The battleground for the winter:
Cleaning and painting bilges and tanks. Then I will install new electricals and a motor. https://image.nostr.build/215d49f784bc3fd900bd506d07c811f89c16d34c0b0595c36b28581a77d29e38.jpg

Yes, what I’m thinking also, and the forces down here would be compressing. They might be just to hinder sloshing.

2024-10-16 12:08:03

Around 500 liters. I also wonder if the dividers are structural or not.. I recon if I can get 10-20 kWh down there I’m good

2024-10-16 11:54:24

Diesel tank emptied. I wonder how much batteries I can fit in it.

Might cut the shaft tomorrow. The shaft might need replacement anyways, and I definitely need new bearings.

2024-10-14 17:48:48

Seems like the puller is too weak. Stopping before the bendy bits kills me 🤨

2024-10-14 17:46:49

So far you are almost right. Seems the puller is to weak as I’m bending the black bolts. Stopping before this gets really uncomfortable..

2024-10-14 17:31:42

It’s time to find out what will happen if an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Aiming to be seaworthy due spring. Then working toward making her a live aboard.

Does keeping sats on a boat get you bad luck at this point?

2024-09-01 15:18:08

What do you think of the new colour #nostr
I wasn’t brave enough for nostr violet. But still pretty unorthodox colour for a boat.
Finished first coat on Tilde. Pulling an all nighter to make it happen 💪🏻

Yes, its a boat that deserves to sail more! Thanks for the zap!

2024-08-17 17:02:22

Never would have thought the straight grinder would be this useful.
Needed to remove the fittings for rigging and barberhaul in preparation for painting underneath the railing.
Can’t think of any way to be more precautions of the hardware when I first decided that the rusted nutts would have to come off destructively.

Sure! It’s a Dutch built 41’ van de Stadt from 67. I have been patching holes in the steel hull by welding. Now work to finish the outside before winter. This winter I will make the boat liveable and install a new engine before sailing next summer

Ah yes, extra annoying is that my timed window for welding is up for the day.

2024-08-09 14:00:06

Oh boy! Here I go weldin again..
While I won’t receive any prices for my welding today, at least I’m getting better at it. And welding upside down was never easy.
This is the exhaust port getting patched shut. Whether I make a new one is up for debate.

The engine is out, I’m so relieved that it fit through the hatch and that the hoist was successful. #refurbish #grow nostr https://image.nostr.build/a3b4588c59f0d8d3346f845b895058c57bf5f7a84e1758e216627136aeb443e3.jpg

2024-08-05 16:25:32

This engine might be too far gone. The reason I need to take out the engine in picture.
There has been a saltwater leak that has sprayed the right side of the engine. For all I know it may have been going on for years before the boat got in my hands.
Disappointing, but it is what it is.

2024-08-05 13:33:45

Good day!
Task for the evening is to finalise preparations to hoist out the engine for overhaul/replacement.
It’s an old Volvo penta that so far has seemed reliable, but heavy and with gearing/prop out of ratio. Also it seem to produce way to much power for this boat
Another thing that I need to do is to treat rust under the engine.

Back to the fiat mine.

Repurpose and reuse.
This is the rigging of an unknown dinghy that has been laying around. It has been separated from its former companion, so I hope it will serve well as a spinnaker pole. Just need to figure out if the diameter is suited to handle the loads of a much bigger sail.

It only uses tungsten tips and is spun around 3000rpm so that the tungsten slams into the steel. Very cost effective. Can remove a bit too much metal if not careful.

Starting to prep the topsides for coating today.
Had some small to severe cracks in the fairing. They might be caused by thermal expansion or shrinking polyester fairing.
So I will fair with epoxy and choose a lighter colour for this job

Tool of the day: impact driver.
Some screws seem impossible and the screw driver will just slip before you can put enough torque on to turn the screw.
The impact driver might help as it turns when giving it a whack with the sledge hammer.
This is the screw holding the cutlass bearing that will need to be replaced.

To be honest, I had no intention to buy a fixer upper of this extent. The welding and rotten deck I discovered after I purchased the boat. It was a cheap boat, but not that cheap 😆

Respiratory protection is a must when moulding the fibreglass. Solvents are scary!
Other than safety gear it’s just simple tools: felt tip pen, sturdy scissors, beakers for mixing, aluminium roller and brushes.

Last valve and trough hull to be replaced by new composite ones that does not corrode.
This is one of the two biggest onboard Tilde, they are for draining the cockpit and deck.

Sometimes the best you can do is to call in reinforcements. My friend helped me weld in the new metal where I found rust going through the hull.
Surprises like that is always stressful, I’m just thankful that I discovered the hole before going on the water, and that the sail association have room for Tilde over the summer.

I honestly don’t know, the welder I have been using is an old esab, which is a recognised brand. I would definitely try to buy nice things second hand, because you get durable equipment for cheap.
If you want to try welding stick welding is fun and inexpensive. I found that the welding sticks you get at the hardware store for professionals is way better and more value than what you find at the general hardware stores.

A good vacuum has been the most used tool.
I would learn how to weld better if i had a workshop.
