Casting the Lead Part1

Having finished welding the tank interior....

It is time to start placing the ballast.
We have 5500 kg of lead to cast.
So we got organized

The Mast

While working at the boat I have ordered the mast to a local shop, Tibermast. being in Rome the name is appropiate.


This is "Picchio" Matteucci!

The Bow: part 2

We started preparing the mooring bollards.

They are made by 50x5 pipe, 30 cm long. The base will be through the deck achored to the frames.

A small hole for drainage of water condensation. Into the watertight compartment.

The bow is now finished with the anchor roller, forestay and code-0 chainplates

Some thinking ahead: the liferaft a Zodiac 6p. Really big case. I do not know where to find a safe place for it.
