The refit of Daemon, or yes
children, once I had a life.
One weekend at the end of the
summer of 2002 we had a rush of blood to the head and ripped out Daemon's
interior to install new tanks, rewire her, upgrade her living area and freshen
her up.
It only took a weekend to rip it
all out, so, we asked ourselves, how long would it take to put it all back
together? Surely only a month or two... how wrong can you be???? Two and a half
years later the refit continues...

This is what a Westsail would look like if a horde of drunken Visigoths took it on extended charter.... |

Rigging a mock up of the wind generator/radar/solar panel arch. Or if we get really bored when we are becalmed, we can practice our rugby kicking. |

New cabinetry! |
|
Watermaker awaiting piping & seat compatment for it to live in. Behind that are the new pot/utensil drawers where the old fridge used to be, and in pride of place, our new teak steps. Graeme, we love you! |

The ladder lifted. |

Bruce pays homage to the engine and the concept of builder's crack while showing off our new lifting ladder. To the right of the picture is the galley and to the left of the engine room door is the head. |
