hi all,

a little update from yesterday visit in yard,

I will try to put the pictures correctly today....

I had a little surprise yesterday,

bringing a spare Danforth Constellation 6" bought on ebay,

because I missed on my compass the superior dome.

Originaly the compass is a 6" that fits on the S&S Swans holder, what I tought I had...

but on mine, there is a spécial aluminium plate to fit a 7" !!!

so... I can remove this plate and install the 6" instead of the 7", or I still have to fight again to find a 7" dome...

was this usual to change the 6" for a 7" ?

the spécial aluminium plate seems original Nautor work.

well... lets continue to search...

Yves / Algol

the constellation 6" found on ebay, with his dome

the surprise...

what I have to find now...

I dont understand why my pictures turn on the forum,

as on my iPhone and on computer they are OK...

and even if I preview I cant change this...

sorry...

Hi everybody,

some update on Algol, while some were "playing" in Marciana Marina…

Hi Yves,

thanks again for the progess report and the excellent pictures!

I noted what looks like an expension vessel in the aft port locker - may I ask what this is for? Have marked it in red in the picture below.

Thank you, will create a (hopefully) similar thread on Kairos' refit (much less extensive) when I get some pictures from our yard.

Fair winds and hope all going to plan,

Stefan

Kairos - 57/0043

Hello Stephan !

this is the oil reserve for the Navtec hydraulic system (vang and backstay)

I found ideas on Kairos pictures, and other 57's I can find on the net, so I share, this maybe will help for another refit of another beautifull S&S Swan 57 !

today some teak progress :

the Lewmar 88/3 custom line is waiting to jump on the coaming !

Fwd cockpit

Aft cockpit

Coaming… dont miss the “little” Lewmar on the right…

What a pleasure to see teak coming back…

Hi Yves,

thank you for your reply - will have to look where the reservoir for the hydraulic vang and backstay is on Kairos now! Must admit I haven't come across it in so far but I suppose it would be somewhere under the cockpit ... as I am 6'3" trying to get under there is a job for a contortionst :-)

The new teak looks phantastic, Kairos will get a new deck & paint this season, too, but I haven't got any pictures yet.

Thanks again for sharing, I find the whole forum full of very valuable information and ideas.

Fair winds

Stefan

Kairos - 57/043

Hi Stephan, hi all,

yes I found a lot of ideas on this site and in the forum, so if by sharing I can give ideas to others, that's my contribution …

today a bit of mast refit… where, as say Paco from NSGS we have a "funny" situation : 9 intakes from lifts, etc and 8 exits (and 8 blocks at mast foot)

we think the staysail hallyard is not original and has been added, using the port side lift exit, but not sure…

we search where we will add a 9th exit in fwd part of the mast… but we must escape all the pole system…

if someone knows tell me !

have nice holidays and fair winds
