There was still a lot of work to do - you know - small things like all the electrical circuits, including batteries, piping up the fuel and water tanks, connecting the controls and fitting all the gauges, switches, internal lights, along with brushing the floor AND painting the sky blue. BUT AT LEAST SHE WAS IN THE WATER ! LED Navigation lights I was very interested in the use of LED lighting to save power, and I bought a set of LED replacement navigation light bulbs from a company in Australia. They were expensive, but with their low power requirements and 80 to 100 thousand hours life span looked good. I now have a company making these bulbs to a higher specification for a lower price, and am pleased to offer them for sale - visit Searolf LEDon this site for details.
Now to be proved right or wrong as Searolf was unloaded and once again placed back in her rightful environment. As you can see from the photo,Searolf floated on a nice level keel, but as we get nearer to completion no doubt I will need to add some ballast.
