Jul. 7, 2008 - Electrical Panel Upgrade

Many months ago. we got a letter, first from Clipper Marine, then from Lombard Marine and finally from our insurers, all alerting us to a recall on part of the electrical panel. Despite several calls to Clipper, nothing much happened, no doubt due to the boat not being in the UK. Finally Clipper have agreed to post the panel to us  so that Kim might take it over to Holland and fix it himself.

A 'phone call today, confirmed that it is being posted out tonight, so we should have it for this weekend.

Kim will be going over with Stewart & Tom for a boy's weekend and hopefully to do the following jobs:-

• Adjust all the doors so they open & shut properly
• Change the electrical panel
• Connect up the new 240 volt socket in the saloon
• Connect up the new 12 volt socket in the saloon
• Run the secondary wiring for the Garmin chart plotter to the binacle

The ferry is booked for Friday night out and Monday night back, so hopefully all the work will get done and we'll get a sail.
