Everything starts getting back together into a ship. The rudders, the windvane back on the transom, the deck panels, wiring, painting, and the surprise of meeting old friends.
Rudders and Windvane steering back on the transom
Peter scrwes the big bolds of the windvane steering on this side of the transom……and on the other side neigbour Anna holds the nuts from turning.
The solar deck panels
The first panel is mounted.the second panel is mountedand nearly allTerry bends corners in the aluminium to make cable linesAdriana mounts the cable lines on deckthis is the result. We made pieces of Iroko over the cable connections to prevent them from breaking.
Surveyer
For the insurance the surveyer spent a day with looking, measuring, checking, and a lot of hammering on the hull.
the surveyer hammers on the hull and the tone of it will reveal if there are bad delaminated pieces. No worries, Ya is a solid yacht.
Wiring
What can we say about wiring? It is for the new solar panels on deck, for the new motor displays, the rewiring of the window solar panels. here a small impression.
Varnishing
Adriana manages to completely strip the stairs, only because of the constant support of her labrador Puku, who stands by her all the time.

Adriana just finished the second layer on the table.
Stig and Anna become neighbours!
We know Stig and Anna already from Gambier, or first Pacific island, where we made a great tour together. Now suddenly, we saw their boat being hauled on the boatyard. What a great surprise!
Going on the hard was necessary, the barnacles are with that many, that it is senseless to scrape that off with a scraper. Stig uses a shovel!
Ya’s name back on
Now when Ya is formally Ya again, you can feel that she is smelling the water..
