New exhaust and engine refurbishments have set safety standard and performance improvements, on, SKERD.

The depreciation in value and material quality, before being bought into our service, left unseen mechanical problems. To find the aesthetic pleasure in occupying tasks to the activity of, Squint Koros Entertainment Research and Development; Our self endorsed investments have restored and improved the functionality of our motors and crew.

Thanking technicians ‘Thalassa,’ on site in the commercial port of, Alicante, who have helped when identifying, to repair, after. All materials paid for and secured.

The refurbishments on the engines were tested in sea trials. Now, working to greater efficiency, they are producing expensively lower emissions, with greater fuel efficiency from their independent parts. In coalition with new hull updates, there are further performance efficiency increases.

These include as of after the sea trial: Stability, fuel economy, integrity, emissions, sound, and crew habitation on board.

The arrest of hazard and financial dangers, with economical value to begin motors on these events, at pilgrimage cruise intentions, are celebrated to the Zietgiest, SKERD, is embarked on after ascending to meet.

The Shunts have sensor control reading for all the hybrid power systems: Batteries, Solar Panels and Wind Generators. The selection of brand was for utilising with economical purchase options and stand alone hybrid units, rather than high end fully integrated networks. Simarine Shunts and the Simarine Pico Display, are active here.

The New Hybrid Power Managment on SKERD, runs with Wind Turbine, Solar Panels and Batteries organised for engines and domestic power usage. Longer use of the materials and natural power sources are procuring the longevity of the materials to help prevent global warming.

The mobile air conditioning units are dismounted for blue water activity. The innovation of tube fittings were under 500 euros with labour for each unit. The units were also under 500 euros and the alternative of inboard air conditioning is an option for 3000 euros or more, with added labour charges.

The tunnel air is within the active floor space for both units. The affect of modes configured to improve breathing conditions are applied on the entire ship in accordance with their positions on board.

The ladder with Inox steps was updated in August 2020, with wooden foot beams and an extended grab rail.

There is improved access to the flybridge and option to utilise grips for fishing utilities, like rod stands.

The innovation was paid for under 1000 euros with labour and extends safety for parties and beginners on open water. It also carries the intention of a colour code for a subtle ambiance raising to the upper level.

10, for all the topsides. At discount retail price; reused and washed the previous fenders to cover with them. There is nothing more to see...

The activation of the copper coating was made this week by sanding the paint surface. Final protective coats were applied and anodes, for reducing electrolysis.

These port holes look like windows. Only the lower stateroom cabin port hole at port bow is a real window. The other grey elliptical holes are vents and flood holes.

The stateroom cabin port window was selected to suit the vent and flood hole shape. Painting the vent and flood holes a chrome colour after was done to improve the lining of the vessel and to add levels to the design.

Though they are not real windows they do not provide false appearance. The saloon and galley cabins are lighted by large windows above deck. Those, gaps, were never there.

The Garmin network is joined with a Chirp Sonar transducer and a Sensor Transducer:

The fittings are a pair providing underwater information, which was not fed to the previous recreational fish finder, which only read fish under the boat.

Seabed formation and chart datum, is accessibly given to the network for navigation and detailed pictures of below waterline with the new Garmin devices.

A pleasure ship with more to meets the eye of trans-ducers.

The original post at the start of the refurbishing was titled, The Changing Room, for a reason.

The original saloon was solely for recreation and endurance of offshore travelling. The first phase of refurbishing took shape with the erected wall behind the helm, then refurbished seating with a new casing of cushions. The colours were emerging and blinds added the same year, showed promise of the executive potential.

The now refurbishing, was for the wall and privacy door behind the gangway and navigation desks. The original storage units were stripped down. And a research station desk fitted over a new flooring. The addition of a glossy black coffee table, low and square with orientation of its own 3 layers, gave the saloon a contemporary finish. The new shelf and units for book and drinks storage, was an innovation after the original stripped down storage units offered parts that could be used. An ornament table was made collapsable, with the same original material.

The new grab rails, fitted to required standard for coding commercial merchant vessel of this type. The 8 grab rails are positioned for the crew to attach harnesses to in rough or even only choppy weather.

The positioning was made to suit the safety of crew and passenger movement, while keeping to the build lines of the trawler.

The interior grab rails needed to be fastened to the fixed storage unit, to securely perform without risk of being a damage or annoyance. The movement in location left an extra grab rail needed, for the counter and cooker area of the galley. These interior grab rails were white cap teak, available from Amazon at under 20 euros.

The fixtures of the interior grab rails were done with drilled holes from the handle end to the foot end and then screwed into place. The other option was to drill from the storage unit into the grab rail feet. Wood oil can be applied to protect the wood colour.

The exterior grab rails were fixed with a drill screw and sikaflex, over the strongest mounting points, to avoid splitting the fibreglass. Then polished clean, clear for cruising speed at optimum anytime. To your seats, its approaching.
