Factory week and recruiting new sea peeps in the Cape Town harbour! Last visit to the factory before the splash late fall. The team is amazing, but it’s the first hull of this model and there’s a lot of tweaks and learning. The goal of this week was: 1. Inspect all plumbing and access for replacement and inspection. Finalize plumbing/pump locations. 2. We’re installing kinematic rod / gear steering and wanted to see it installed and working. 3. Finalize up and lower helm instruments and running rigging and nav station layout. Helm access and foldable bench (new design). 4. Comms and electrical wiring, worked out where to install starlink dishes, wiring lengths, etc. Busy but fantastic week again. South Africa, is stunning.
