How to make Epoxy Parts, Spreader Lights and More

This week we make some small odd shaped backing spacers that allow a solid through hull bolting of the stanchion bases where they hit the molded curves of the hull lines. We used Epoxy, Modeling clay, Blue Painters tape and some washers to make the correct shape. We also get a lot of little things done. I added two weatherproof switches to go on the side of the helm station to light up the mizzen spreader lights and also the spare anchor light. We also wired the compass light into the dash lights, but as I type this I can see why we may want to put that on a separate switch so that we can turn off the engine gauges when we are sailing. Dangit, I am annoyed with myself for just thinking of this. We also installed the VHF antenna and the Standard Horizon GX2100 AIS, VHF receiver and transmitter.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
