Work list 2007 ....... we're
gonna finish the deck
We're going to Willemstad, Curacao. The Pontjesbrug opens up for us...we're going to Parera. An excellent climate here to work.
The burma teak has arrived and we can start gluing the teak planks. Here in Curacao you'll find good craftsmen and all the best materials are easy available, so we can do a good job. We're gonna glue the teak with epoxy.
The quarter sawn teak planks from Deanwoods in the USA turn out to be excellent.
We fly in the Sikaflex 290DC
Over 40 square meters of teak .....
Quiet a job ............
The new windlass LOFRANS Titan-B is shipped in and finds its place on its nylon base on the for deck. A stronger 2500 Watt motor, than the Maxwell 3500 that we had from 1995 - 2008
The purple hart side and center boards will be painted non skid gray poly-urethane
It's going to look great
A clean and open for deck .....
Looks better than a Wally ....
The upper deck on top of the master stateroom gets solid teak sideboards and the 12mm marine plywood base for the teak is glued with 70 cartridges 3M-5200.
On top of this again ..... the teak
And again Sikaflex in the seams.
Apart from the deck, we will do a lot of extra jobs here in Curacao.
