It's time to "brand" Yasmine with a custom logo / sticker. We cut our own sticker to shape with the drag-knife of the Stepcraft 840 CNC machine and the result is nice and clean.

It's time to install some pipes and hoses on board. One part of the refit consist of a new proper plumbing installation. The new fresh water pipes come with little clips to install them - which looks very neat. Unfortunately we have not found any glue that is easy to handle and keeps them in place. A new DYI project has to be created: clip support brackets

Electricity on board a yacht is always a delicate topic as in our case weight, waterproof/splash-proof equipment is not always standard of the shelf available. Also the salty air can become over time an issue for certain equipment. To save weight and cable length it is preferable to have the controllers, breakers etc. mounted close by. As often standard solutions don't fit our requirements, we just made them ourselves, lots of DYI...

Brackets and mounting plates are great D.I.Y. projects and depending on the materials, some are more dusty than others.
Lots of equipment that needs to be mounted on a boat. In our case as the hulls and superstructure are carbon sandwich - we don't want to screw anything into the hulls or bulkheads.
