The Sabre 58 SE travels just a few minutes down the road from our facility before receiving her Volvo Penta IPS drives. Rather than transporting the boat with the drives and propellers already installed, we complete that portion of the process at Journey's End Marina in Rockland, Maine. Located right on the water, Journey's End provides the ideal setting for installing the IPS system and preparing each Sabre 58 SE for launch. #SabreYachts #CraftedInTheMaineTradition

Het eiland Ios in de Cycladen is niet zo bekend, maar een prachtig eiland! Ios Chora (oftwel Ios Stad) ligt spectaculair op een bergtop. We zijn op onze e-bike en de e-step gestapt en de klim naar Ios stad gaf een prachtig uitzicht op dit deel van het eiland. We gingen nog verder omhoog en we stopten bij een serie oude windmolentjes. Deze herinneren aan het agrarische verleden van Ios. Waarbij je ook weer uitzicht had op Ios stad zelf. Mooi!

Screwhead teak plugs in 23 seconds!! Having just replaced around 1000 teak screw head plugs…this was the process.. Unscrew every exposed screw: I used a battery drill driver. Drill the hole deeper: I used a 10mm forstner bit as it fitted the existing holes perfectly and did a tidy job. This is subject to having enough teak left to drill deeper. Fortunately Najad were generous with their teak! Try not to drill as far as the fibreglass. Add sealant and replace the screws: I’ve seen videos where they say the screws were just for construction and you can leave them out. That is probably correct but I’m going for better safe than sorry. If the teak was thinner with no room to drill deeper and replace the screws I’d leave them out as a last chance of getting a few more years out of a worn deck. Sealant to stop any water getting into the deck core. I used a hand screwdriver rather than power to replace them as power was tending to rip out the self tapping screws from the fibreglass. Put glue on the plug: I used a polyurethane foaming wood glue. Epoxy would be very strong but mixing all the batches a big pain if you have lots to do. Try to get more glue on the edges than the base of the plug as I had a couple of plugs pushed out as the glue foamed up. Tap in the plug: I used a standard claw hammer as it’s all I had but I daresay a wooden mallet is recommended but the top of the plug is waste material anyway so it matters not. Cut off the excess: I used a Fein multi tool oscillating saw. Be careful with your angle as you don’t want to gouge the surrounding deck. It took me a few goes to master the technique but was pretty quick when I did. I said the top of the plugs were waste but if you found yourself short a lot of them had enough material left to do more holes. Sand flat: I used a random orbit sander with a worn 80 grit pad. I now have fresh patches all over the deck so, once I’ve completed a couple of caulking touch ups, I’ll give the whole deck a very light sanding. You could just leave the newly sanded plug patches to grey down to match the deck if you preferred. And that’s it…repeat many times! Feel free to ask any questions 😊⛵️ #boatlife #liveaboardsailboat #boatmaintenance #najad #boatrepairs
