Actually the cockpit is ready for sandblasting and paint! I've added some Jack-Stay fastenings in the corners - but no photos yet. The idea is that you don't hit your knees into them when they are in the corners. A problem could be that there is only four of them.
Anyway, I'm startingover with stainless welding from the bow and going aft.
A small tube was welded from the forepeak to the outside of the bow. The plan is to have pressurised seawater flowing the anchor chain on it's way up. :-) On port side there will be another tube but for electrical cables to the lower lanterns and the bow lights. I really wanted bow lights! In Scandinavian waters we often more head to a slooping rock and during the - in summertime - very long twilight, it's very good to see what you are doing...
