sunbeam 44 refit

So, 5 years into the total refit of Innata our Sunbeam 44 cc. 2 years to go until we cast off our home dock lines in Barcelona for good.
Done so far:
Repaired cracked fiberglass countermold after the secret crash of previous owners. 100 kg of glass and resin tied into the keel/ hull.
New sails, standing and running rigging.
Redone teak decks
Rewired entire boat including control panel
Reupholstered and custom bed in owners cabin
Replumbed entire boat
Awlgripped deck and hull
A long list of etceteras...

To do yet: Redundant autopilots
AIS, RADAR, WATERMAKER
New liferaft
Repower to 80 hp craftsman from 50 hp yanmar
Increase tankage for 800 mile autonomy
Fit permanent staysail

Actually had time to do a bit of cosmetics: Floorboards with sika joiners- a royal pain.
Light at the end of the tunnel!
