Messing About In The Boat

This is a video blog about the work I have done and the fun I'm having on my Beneteau First 235, named Jackdaw. She is kept on Lake Harriet, in urban Minneapolis, Minnesota. Unlike the blog I keep for sailing there, This blog will be mostly be done via HD video. Be sure to watch the videos in HD if you have the CPU power and the bandwidth. Also, any image on the blog can be clicked on to view in hi-resolution. Let's see how it turns out.

Headliner Replacement

This is the big job that has to be done on every Beneteau First 235. When I bought my boat, this is what I had to face.. Yuck. Notice that the headliner on the port side is totally gone, and to starboard, it is starting to fall. See the whole story after the break:

Roller Furler

I'm in the process of adding a roller furling system to the boat. The biggest job is figuring what model to go with, and if or what you want to do to the bow pulpit's forward post, which on the Beneteau 235 can interfere with the drum. See the intro video after the break:

Ports!

I just added two Gebo non-opening ports the hull of my Beneteau 235. They look pretty damn good. Here's the story in three videos and a couple of pictures mixed in, right after the break:
