Have you ever wondered how we get the grain pattern on our bulkheads to match the doors? It’s easy really, our doors are cut out from the bulkheads. Our bulkheads are laminated in place, they are made of two, 15mm thick marine grade plywood panels bonded together, there is also 0.9-1.2mm thick Sapele mahogany veneer on each side. This is the wood you see once the bulkhead is finished and we like it to match the door, perfectly. Before the bulkhead can be fitted, if there is a doorway, it needs to be added. This poses a few problems. Because every boat is individually built, one boat differs from the next so each yacht uses wood from the same tree, and this keeps the colour and grain pattern consistent throughout, but cutting out a door from a bulkhead would cause the bulkhead to flex. Even at over 30mm (1 1/4 in) thick a little flex could cause a problem and make it difficult to close a door once it’s installed. For this reason, we cut out the door, add the laminated Sapele mahogany frame to the bulkhead and 6mm of solid Sapele mahogany around the door and then fit the door into the bulkhead and secure the two together. Only then do we fit the bulkhead into position on the yacht. Once the bulkhead is securely laminated in place, the doors are removed and labelled before varnishing. The doors and the bulkheads are varnished separately. The bulkheads remain unvarnished to allow the GRP laminate and glues that attach the bulkhead to the hull to bond fully with the wood. Once the bulkheads are laminated in place, then they can be varnished, by hand and brush to give a thick, hard-wearing finish. #wearesirius #SiriusWerft #Sirius #siriusyachts #Yacht #Yachting #Sailing #Sailboat #Decksaloon #decksalon #BluewaterCruiser #OffshoreCruiser #LiftingKeel #Twinkeel #BilgeKeel #Handbuilt #Sailingyacht #Sailingboat #BlueWaterSailing #GoAnywhereCruiser #Swingkeel #OceanSailing #Circumnavigation #DreamYacht #Segeln #SailingLife #SailingLifeStyle #LiveABoard #SailingInstagram #YachtingWorld

In a surprising turn of events, I found myself in a racing competition with a bird, and as it turns out, this bird is faster than me. As I was out sailing on my sailboat, enjoying the sailing life and the beautiful views of Strangford Lough, I stumbled upon this speedy bird. The experience was exhilarating, and it reminded me of the thrill of sailboat racing and yacht racing that I've experienced in events like the Narrows Regatta. The sailing lifestyle is full of unexpected moments like these, and it's what makes sailing so much fun. Whether I'm sailing on a sigma yacht or a sailboat, I always feel alive and connected to nature. The sailing community is also very supportive, and I've met many like-minded people at the Strangford Lough Yachting Club who share my passion for sailing and yacht life. If you're interested in sailing and want to learn more about the sailing lifestyle, be sure to watch my other sailing videos for tips and stories from my adventures on the water. From close crosses to sailing away into the distance, every moment on the water is a thrill. So come along and join me on this journey as I explore the world of sailing and all its wonders, from the beauty of Strangford Lough to the excitement of sailboat racing and the joy of yacht life.
