Unrelenting attention to detail!

A boat like Happy Return (26ft Stella One Design), is like a miniature house with engine, electrics and plumbing. Because of the limited space, every single item has to be placed very carefully, keeping in mind everything that is going to happen on board.
There are many books and articles which attempt to teach and help with boat electrics/plumbing/rigging - but ultimately, one has to really imagine oneself sailing the boat to make those crucial decisions...
Shroud plates finally fitted

Laying cables for windlass

Wiring up switches

Very nearly ready to paint!

Nosing through the door towards the sea!
