Siphon Break, Liferaft install, Lee Cloth additions, Pipe Rack Storage, Handholds

Lee cloths were sewn for 3 cabins. The one in the V berth area is more of a storage containment barrier though. It leaves room for one to sleep and still have access to the forepeak. Loads of lightweight items are kept to port.

I was never satisfied with bronze vacuum breaks as they corrode and stick. I had used plastic valves from power break units for autos but found that the latest ones are made even more cheaply than a decade ago and do not hold up. I settled in on a Marine version of a vacuum break sold by Scot Pump in Ft. Lauderdale/954-524-6776/ that is all Delrin where in contact with water...an external spring is made from stainless. I'm using this model VB 38 (Vacuum Break 3/8"). Cost. $15...add it to your loop.

A Viking 6 person Self Righting life raft was purchaced at the St. Pete show this fall and we mounted the case behind the Pilothouse-out of our required field of vision. Now making a sunbrella cover, as long as we are in the sewing mood.
