Chain Plates and Anchor Rollers

The cap shrouds will attach to the single eye chain plate now firmly fastened to the hull.  The double wide chain plate will serve double duty to the lower shroud and the topping lift.

Should have installed chain plates before shelves.

The stainless steel backing plate is glassed to the underside of the deck.  Sampson posts sprit heel is fastened with 3/4 inch hex cap srews 4 inches long.

Gammon iron fastened

Need to find 6 inch long 1/2 inch carriage bolts to fasten thru rub rail and hull.

Need to bellmouth anchor line bails so not to chafe rode

Teak and Bronze

With Rose’s galley forward and settee aft configuration a permanently installed table would not be very practical.  It’s in the way as soon as you go below and permanent table legs or deck fasteners would likely preclude using the sole as a third berth.  My compromise solution is a small 24 inch square folding  teak  table that fits down below and in the cockpit.  I know it’s a bit early to be worrying about where dinner will be served but I bought it anyway.

Bronze jewelry from Port Townsend arrived last week.   I would have thought the mast collar flange fastener holes would have been larger, say ½ inch for through bolts.  I am going to drill them out.   The mirror finished deck chain plates for the back stay tackle and the sway hooks really do qualify as jewelry.

Change Orders

Change order no 420 (roughly): 
Scratch the sink in the head; there is no place to put it. As I drew it up, the bottom of the sink would be right on top of the air conditioner. I could move it to the starboard side countertop but that wipes out a bank of 3 drawers. In hindsight I didn’t need it anyway....the galley sink is only 5 feet away. So, we scratch the sink, which means we don't need the sink drain thru-hull. Now we have an extra sink and seacock.

However, the hot and cold water lines have already been pulled to that location and we need a solution to the air conditioner pan drain issue. Running it into the bilge is not a good option. The new plan is to install a hand held shower and build a small sump pan with pump. The A/C pan can drain into the shower sump.  A self-priming waste water pump will send shower gray water and AC water over the side at the transom.

Bowsprit Installed

Captain Connor

Need to add 1/4 inch half round each side of gammon iron.

Anchor rollers attached at stem and main deck

From headstay to forestay is 8 ft 8 inches.

As at December 8th 2010

Chart table, freezer left, refrigerator right, instrument panel framed for pc monitor. AIS and VHF.

 

On port side of sail locker one gallon fresh flush tank, holding tank and water maker pre-filters.

Bowsprit and main deck in way of sprit heel and sampson post.

 

Anchor Rollers

 The roller assembly I first bought was designed for a reefable bowsprit. Too big and too heavy.  I cut a 6 inch piece off the tail to bolt to the bow.

The plate will extend outboard to capture each roller. The slots in each roller cheek engages the  plate thereby fixing the angle so the Rocna anchor will ride below the bow sprit. The tail end of each PTF roller had to be trimmed to match up with the angle of the bow and the cover board was planed down so the gammon iron position did not change. 

The anchor roller bails would be fine for an all chain rode but the sharp edges will chafe through anything else.

Gammon iron and rollers.

Plate through bolted to bow. 

The rollers dry fitted on plate.
