I've refit a Catalina 30, and now have a J-133 that we live aboard, cruise along the coast of California, and race, and this book is the bible for all things mechanical and electrical on a boat. I keep it on the boat at all times (in spite of how hefty it is!). Here's a link to it on Amazon. You NEED this book if you have a boat: https://amzn.to/4nDAyiX

Elfie has stopped by Desty Marine Hamble to prepare the boat for Christmas Eve. Suited and booted, he is sanding, painting and getting everything sea ready for the festive adventure ahead.

A lot of people didn’t think I could pull this off – and honestly, I did want to quit a few times..But the old one was ruined, professionals had a 2-year waitlist, and I figured… why spend the money when I might be able to do it myself?💰💰 To everyone who thought it couldn’t be done – well, it could 💁🏼‍♀️ Did I spend almost 4 months doing it? Yes, along other projects that needed attention. Is it perfect? Nope! It’s not perfect. Some seams are crooked (like so many other things on a boat), I’ve unpicked and resewn more times than I can count, and I even made a whole new sprayhood after the first one was a total disaster🔥 But now it’s finished. And it’s d4mn special.Stubbornness and support from good people really can take you far - so thanks to all who actually believe in the project.This cockpit enclosure is uniquely ours – and just the way it’s supposed to be! - 17 days, let’s go!!!
