Sailing Vessel Triteia - Building The New Anchor Locker on an Alberg 30

Anchor Locker - Part 1

This episode is a Throwback project video, one of many I will be uploading every couple of weeks. As I mentioned before I undertook a lot of major projects in preparation for the Channel Islands trip and I shot a ton of video.

Projects included:
- New Anchor Locker and Anchor Set up
- New Head (plumbing, holding tank, macerator pump)
- New (Temporary) Nav Station

This video gets us into the mock up and planning stage of the anchor locker itself. I needed to remove the old shelf and replace it with a new shelf and retaining wall that was glassed in.

In the video I mention having the anchor locker drain into the bilge but I later decided on installing a drain on the hull near to the water line.

There will be two more Anchor Locker videos I think.

I know many of my subscribers really enjoy the refit videos so I will be working these in over the next couple of months. I just couldn’t wait to share my adventure videos, as that is the entire reason I worked so hard on these projects to allow me the ability to sail and explore new places.

Thanks for watching!

Fair Winds,

Alberg 30’s have long been known and respected as blue water boats, from Yves Gelinas’ Jean-Du-Sud to being featured in John Vigor’s “Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere”. Now I am the proud owner of Hull #55! Come along with me as I refit her and take her sailing in preparation for my circumnavigation in a few years time!
