Ethan's Ark Boat Pix Aug 2007 |
This is the best shot that I have of the complete boat at this stage in the construction. Note the completed bowsprit.

Stern Rail installe. Mahogany Bulwark cap. |
Aft cabin starboard side. Has bunk/settee/storage in place. Inside the bunk is insulated and the insulation is covered with a piece of white fiberglass sheet.
|
This is the Nav Station wiring. Big 2 gauge wire into buss bars from a 100A breaker. All the various loads that you want to control from the Nav Station are fused and switched in this panel. |
Main companionway ladder with main A/C and D/C electrical panels. The white box on the bulkhead is a Xantrex 2500W inverter/130A 12 V charger. On the sole underneath the ladder is space for six Trojan T-105 6V batteries for a total Amp Hour capacity of 660AH. | This is the refrigerator Box. Approximately seven cubic feet. four inches of insulation on the sides, and 6 inches underneath. I would have put more insulation, but there just wasn't enough room. |
These pictures were taken in August of 2007. Most of the essential systems are in; although not complete. The preparation to moving to the boat yard to step the mast and launch her are underway. |
