Progress...

Posted by Christian Van Horn on February 27, 2011 at 9:33 PM

Hey all! Weather has been tough on us lately, but we have been plugging along. Here's a few pics of our progress on the galley:


The plumbing is not complete, but here's a pic of the interior of the sink cabinette. The PEX tubing terminates in shut-off valves and connects to both the faucet and a foot pump which pumps to the small spout on the right side of the sinks:

 


There is a narrow pull-out "pantry" to hold bags and wraps plus cooking utensils, and a tilt-out trash door under the sink. Next will be the board behind the countertop and a cupboard next to the door into the head. We should be starting the aft cabin in around a week. SPRING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!  C+M

Very nice. What kind of plywood are you using? Is that a teak faced ply?

It's sapele mahogany marine ply. 12 mm and 18 mm mostly. We buy from Harbor Sales in MD. Good stuff!

Hi:

I have a Challenger 32, which I have had for about 27 years. On "cruisers Forum" I see where you repaired your rudder a few years ago. I am having rudder problems with the "32".

From the photos that you published it appears that the rudder design and installation have some common features.

Shaft: --- 17/8'' Hollow stainless

Fiberglass Tube above waterline.

What I would like to know before I remove the rudder is what type of bearings if any are at the top and bottom of shaft and what is involved in accessing the lower bearing.

Any Information would be appreciated,

Thank You,

Jim C
