Strange feeling - that's for sure!

Published

A lot has happened with Turid II since the last time. Many different projects have been running at the same time for the past six months and for a while it felt like it was becoming too much.

But today all the pieces fell into place. Now the armor is actually finished and all that remains is to clean out and bunker. We are getting ready for this summer's long trip with southern Finland as our destination; after midsummer it wears off.

A little of what we did during the winter:

  • New diesel heater Eberspächer D2 in the engine compartment.
  • Ducts for hot air after the starboard side with outlets in the salon and foremast.
  • The old heater in the "wardrobe" between the salon and the scullery has been removed - the interior has been supplemented with shelves and a door.
  • The electrical panel has been replaced, the connections redone.
  • New NMEA2000 network with sensors for
    • Depth (existing)
    • GPS location (existing)
    • Wind NASA NMEA2000
    • Compass direction (magnetic) Garmin SteadyCast
    • Air temperature and humidity YachtDevices YDHS-01
    • Air pressure (barometer) YachtDevices YDBC-05
    • Cool Box Temperature YachtDevices YDTC-13
    • Battery voltage and solar panel charging current YachtDevices YDRI-04
  • Continuous Data Logging (YachtDevices YDVR-04)
  • New instruments Raymarine i70s, i60 in the cockpit.
  • 4G router Teltronika RUT240 for surfing and NMEA2000 access
  • New compressor Isotherm Compact Classic 2001 for the cooler
  • Composting toilet AirHead has replaced the old Jabsco
  • Two solar panels 60 + 60 W, one on the ruff hatch, one on the mast by the pushpit, new charge regulator
  • All bulbs inside replaced with LED Spool1.
  • New roller jib mechanism Furlex 204S (fore-stay profile and roller). The old one was broken and could not be repaired.

  1. Dream captain, technical genius. Modern technology such as solar panels, etc. You avoid distress at sea and cruise in storms without power in pin-prick passages. WOW nothing left to chance. Several horror situations come to mind. It will be fun to follow your journey to your home regions.
