B&G Zeus

Stéphane installing the B&G 12" Zeus onboard classic yacht AMADOUR.
The Zeus is the best available chart plotter on the market in our opinion.
Bright and fluid display, fast and totally interfaceable with other instruments.

It is here installed together with the Simrad AI50 Class B AIS Transponder
All targets can be seen on Zeus display

Teak deck Hardware removal

Removing and reinstalling the deck hardware is probably
as time consuming than laying the teak deck itself.
Especially on some boats of that generation when the decks were
covered with winches, blocks, pad-eyes, clutches etc..
This is as well a good opportunity to renew some of the deck
equipment as winches or hatches.

A new teak deck for Swan 59 GRIMLO V

Tenting the boat in case it rains.Steel fittings bolted onto toerail have been
 fabricated to hold the PVC frame work and leave a bit more space inside.

Soon it will be hot in there though.
