This week, after a lot of invisible wiring, the galley shelves, the Garmin chart plotter and the motor panel are fitted and some more wood whittling takes place!


This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build.

These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated. You make a real difference!!

[Music]

you might remember a couple of weeks ago

i said

be pulling wires through and it's you

can see

surrounded by all sorts of um

wiring stuff that's what i've been doing

lots of wires through this week

so that the starboard side now is

forward is completely wired i think i've

got them all in

port sides basically in place so

wiring is nearly finished i've got a

little bit more to do

then along the way for the galley

lighting area i've got three lights to

go in there i think i showed you last

week that i talked about the

led strip lights going there i had to

build the shelves

that these strip lights would be

connected or will be fitted to

so

mm-hmm

so

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

and then of course the motor panel has

been going on for for a while

and finally got around to getting that

in place so that the motor panel is

fitted and again opens up a load of

wiring because a big wiring loom goes

from that panel through

down to the engine the loom i've got at

the moment is too long so

it'll need to be shortened but um is

that i say panel's now in place i know

the link that looms got to be

it's just in case it's sitting there and

shortening it

in the end i've just taken those screws

out again and used

these so i've drilled a hole through the

wood so i'm not screwed into the wood at

all now

i've used these screw holes screw these

through

hole screws with these threaded backing

plates you can see one

two three threaded backing plates that

one had to be a wood screw because

otherwise it wouldn't have worked

and i'm also in the process of building

sort of these wooden plants

these sort of wooden prints that the

galley lighting

will be fitted to as well
