Welcome to the Maunie of Ardwall blog

This is the blog of Maunie of Ardwall. After a six-year adventure sailing from Dartmouth to Australia, we are now back in Britain.

The new instrument project is completed!

We are very pleased to report that the rewiring and chaos is over with! Here are some short videos of it all:

This is the second installment of the video story, as we remove the remaining cables and start to add the new network instruments:  https://youtu.be/WuF3mtxmMPA

and here's the final bit of the installation https://youtu.be/cgdZEfe70gU

We finally took Maunie out for a sea-trial at the weekend and were delighted that everything worked as it should. Unfortunately there was no wind at all but the calm sea and sunshine were perfect conditions for testing. https://youtu.be/b-cV8XV-t_E

We'll hope to get a final few days of sailing, weather permitting, before the end of the month. We'll be hauling out at Baltic Wharf in Totnes again this winter so she'll be snug under her winter cover and we'll be able to continue with a few maintenance jobs. Hopefully not too many!
