As we had a problem with the water on the
toilet floor flowing from the well instead of into it when we showered,
I have leveled up the floor with putty to make it flow towards the well
and put on a Flexiteek mat. I started by pouring water on the floor to find the right levels and see how much putty it would take. With 6 liters of water the level was horizontal so with 7 liters of putty I got a bit of a fall. Then I sanded the surface to be putty with sandpaper and washed it with acetone. Next I sawed 2 long wooden wedges to pull off after the filling. I put the wedges as far apart as possible and putty the area between the wedges. When the putty had set, I removed the wedges and filled in the channels that remained. On the advice of Nils Malmgren AB, I used their epoxy putty NM Elastic 705. I then made a template in paper which I handed over to Marindesign AB who manufactured the Flexiteek carpet. Now all that remains is to glue it. |

We have Hanse original sprayhood and
cockpit canopy. |
 Ever since the boat was new, I've been irritated about the external canopy bow fittings and have now finally gotten round to changing them to recessed fittings. |
