Just an update. Helmsman43 and I have been on the boat for four days, installing electronics and enjoying the boat. Sore knees from crawling around the boat. The attention to detail and comfort in the engine room is crazy good. Wiring runs are well thought out with top notch artistry, in my...

The two appliances are a Kenyon Frontier 1300 watt Electric Grill, and the Isotherm Cruise Elegance 130 4.6 cu ft Silver Door AC/DC fridge. We went with an electric grill. We aren’t using propane on the boat and we fo have a generator.

It works with an arch. It would be too tight with a mast I think. You could still do it if you off set it behind the settee, I think. Wiring would not be too much of an issue on a retro fit.

Another pic, showing the channel off of the deck.

My wife looked for a bath mat that would work well with the shower configuration on the Helmsman. She found this product on Amazon for $59. The description reads “SUTERA - Stone Bath Mat, Diatomaceous Earth Shower Mat, Non-Slip Super Absorbent Quick Drying Bathroom Floor Mat, Natural, Easy...

HtT, Here is a couple of pictures of the PH door, and a shot of the ACR switches at the panel. The channel has a hole that allows water to flow out to the walkway. Nate

We elected to get a grill and fridge on the FB. Helmsman43, a poster on this site, decided to get the same. I think it turned out well and thought I would share a picture of the setup. The fridge is inside the cabinet with vents on the sides of the cabinet. One concern was whether the area would...

I am under strict orders from the missus to refrain from pics until she gets it set up the way she wants it. I will snap a pic or two of the exterior tomorrow if the yard finishes cleaning it up.

Well, we spent the day moving in. The heaviness of the wood, the way the cabinets and doors close, and the lighting all make this trawler feel like it is light years ahead of our last boat. The amount of space for this size boat continues to surprise us. As veteran boaters, we are used to...

:)

That is great news! Things speed up quite a bit now. Everything you have been considering for the boat becomes a decision!

I will when I get back to the boat. I think you also wanted a picture of the bottom of the PH doors on the outside. Do you still need that?

I love that area of Europe. There is so much to see and do. When your boat arrives, you will be so busy with it. I am glad you guys are getting the chance to travel while it makes its way home.

Well, the Mishy Jean is “in the barn”. Van and Kevin put the top back on her this week and she is ready to go. We spent time with both Van and Gary going over systems and took her out for an orientation ride over the last two days It was a really enjoyable experience to spend time with them...

Nice!

Will do!

Thank you for posting the links. I actually appreciate the writer I cited not acting as if there is any absolute in a science that is still in its infancy, attempting to measure millennium long natural cycles. There is a considerable amount of impacts on temperature change. CO2 has an impact, as...

Hey Doug! Van and Kevin will be out here this week to get the flybridge back on the boat, so we should be closing on the boat later in the week. We are collecting the gear we need for the first ride in the boat. Next week we will be back down and get her outfitted, with electronics to follow the...

Art, There are certainly many articles debunking the concept of a grand solar minimum in the future. However, it is a demonstrated fact that they do occur, and the periods in which they occured are pretty well documented.. An article is attached below with links to studies that suggest a...

We are actually going into a grand solar minimum and the world will need very bit of energy it can generate. It is a cyclical thing and the earth will cool by 2 to 3 degrees. Last Happened a few hundred years ago and was a major generator of famine, with much less sunshine, more cloud cover, and...

I agree with this, and your above comment about side deck width. Having had the opportunity to be on our 38 (on the hard), the access to the FB and the bow will both be ease of use. I was impressed with the heavy feel of the rail to the bow, the height of the rails, and the width. I was always...

I like the layout. And the comfort you will have of the walk around is certainly a consideration, and one that is a personal preference for each couple making the decision. I like the lines of the “stretch” version. It adds to the boat shape, I think. Will be great to get a look at some pictures...

Congratulations! That is great to hear. I like the name. Will be fun to transition to cruising stories this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!

Does anyone have experience with AJX?

Well, we are mostly older folks. :) Thanks for the detailed info! I will print this off and keep in my navigation notes.
