1 of 2 x 4-inch holes
The lazarette has always been damp. In spring and autumn stuff gets soaking wet. It's what caused the hydraulic connectors on the steering machinery to rust. We have finally got around to doing something about it. The work started with the first of two 4-inch holes in the deck. The deck is 55mm thick. The 60-year old matai (matai - black pine) is very hard.
The new aft vents
Two Dorade boxes were nicely made by Sounds Marine at Waikawa Marina. The ventilator hoods are by Vetus and are made of slightly flexible rubbery plastic. We're pleased with the result all round. They look like they belong. Already the lazarette has dried out heaps.
