Hello Everyone,

Just an update on my newest restoration project. I finally found the time to finish building the new galley cabinets and applying the final finish. Next on my list is to finish interior painting so that I can install the cabinets.








Good sailing to all. Bladeswell

Hi All,

Yeppers, Angus got it right. Its just a method of cutting down weight.

Wow, they look fantastic! Beautiful workmanship. Wondering how you designed the runners to catch the drawer closed? This prevents the drawers from flying open when you're on a 20°+ steep heel. I believe there's a groove or bump on the bottom that catches on a pawl. When you lift the drawer slightly you can pull the drawer out but if you don't it stays put.

Hi Again Everyone,

And thanks for your kind words. Yes Bruce, just about 3/4" before full closer the drawer drops about 1/4". And so, to open you need to lift first. Good catch Bruce. Was out sailing today in good air, about 12 knots. Had a great day. Good sailing all.

They look great! What did you finish them with? Helmsman Spar Varnish?

Hello Again,

As a matter of fact it is Helmsman but polyurethane spray from a can. I wouldn't use it on the exterior but it should be just fine for anything inside out of the sun. My choice for the exterior is Cetal Natural Teak. I said earlier that my next project would be to finish interior painting but of coarse I cant follow my own plan. Almost completed building my new companion way hatch boards. The old ones were warped and made of pine. Can you imagine...?

I used the Cetol natural teak on my C22 , 5 coats , turned out very nice .Sold the boat 4 months later , probably wouldn't have done it if I knew I was selling ,the boat was a '74 the wood hadn't been off in years , broken screws , stripped holes . Probably going to have to do the wood on Tempus soon . That will be another thread I'm sure .

Hi Peter,

I'm not sure which part you need info on. Face frame building or drawer building ? But to start with, you would need access to a table saw, a router table and clamps. Not to mention a source for 4 quarter teak by the board foot. When I bought the boat, the cabinet under the galley sink was there. just in bad shape and in need of rebuilding, (glue and clamp the face frame joints) and refinishing. But there was no cabinet under the stove platform. In fact, there was almost nothing there at all.

This is how it looked when I bought her.

This is after building the new substructure. It has sense been glassed and first coat of primer applied. Good sailing and fair winds.

Here's more,

This first pic is after the new fiberglass was laid.


The next is after the first coat of primer and thats where I am now in the process.


And the last one is a better view of the back side of the new face frame.
