Fitting DIY Carbon fibre stanchions and new galley progress

Check out our new video

We get our first stanchion base ready to fit. Making more progress towards carbon-fibre stanchions with fully sealed decks.

Also progress on the galley painting, insulation, worktops, fiddles and more. A complete replacement of the original 47 year old galley.

Oh, and we fixed some leaks in the deck.

Our Stanchion Design follows what we learned from @Tulasendlesssummer in @ • DIY CARBON FIBER STANCHIONS

We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement starting in Summer 2025. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc). More detail on our blog at https://sustainablesailing.net/
