Phoenix of Hamble - still afloat

[CliveG]

Dropped into Shotley today fro some fuel and a Full English.

Checked out Phoenix of Hamble in the flesh.
Very nice boat.
Quite a lot of work to be done.

One of Neil's next door berth holders is looking forward to sitting on deck supping a G&T while watching all the hard work going on.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

As long as he shares the odd one, he's welcome to watch the work progress!

Switch panel now all made and ready to install

 

[photodog]

Oooohhh! Very retro!

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

In keeping I thought...

 

[Tradewinds]

Hey, all them's wires are the same colour - ain't that a bit confusing!

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

It would be, but every one is labelled with a heatshrink protected waterproof label... And also red to denote a positive feed

What's a Sterm light?

What's a Sterm light?

Surely that's steam? Presumably to warn you when the kettle is coming to the boil.

I wish whoever rewired ours in a Dutch boatyard had thought of that. Lots of same coloured wires all over the place - mostly browns and yellows. I'm even thinking of getting one of those tracing widgets.
We popped by Shotley Marina yesterday afternoon for an ice cream and a wander. Saw Phoenix of Hamble sitting there smart as you like in her berth. No-one on board though. Looks great 'in the flesh'. Bet you'll get lots of 'is she wooden?' with your hull - we do as we have the same 'planking'.
Also see Harmony is back on one of the linears..... nice.

I know what you mean. I'm always getting 'is that one of those glassfibre hulls with a wooden top?' Really tedious

We all have our crosses to bear - mine is: 'Is that a Hallberg Rassy?'

Oh, don't get me started on that one...
'Is that a Fisher?' is what we get from the knowledgeable.
One even told us it was a Fisher copy despite being told it was a Hans Christian.
Bah!

Fair play chaps.... Having used one of those engraving tools freehand, that's not a bad job.
