We left them with a short list of projects to fine tune some details that have been bugging us (the list is very short). We&#8217;ll start with a new exhaust extension for the Kabola diesel heater.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We love the Kabola, but their &#8220;stainless&#8221; exhaust had a problem with bleeding rust after a few weeks being exposed to the salt air. They sent us a second which we had electro polished and passivated&#8230;to no avail. We have been fighting a rusty stain on the starboard corner of the hull for five years.<\/p>\n<p>No more! We now have a non rusting aluminum smokestack.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"349\" alt=\"Wind-Horse-at-Berthons-105\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/wind-horse-at-berthons-105.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When we launched we had a ladder from the flying bridge level down to the forward deck. We grew tired of its appearance and as it was seldom used removed it. That left us with quite a jump up or down if we wanted to go direct from the flying bridge forward. The stainless rail shown here gives us a leg up (or down) when required.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Wind-Horse-at-Berthons-119\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/wind-horse-at-berthons-119.jpg\" width=\"561\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More stainless, this time a guard for our mechanical back up shift\/throttle system. The rowing dinghy now rests against this and we don&#8217;t have to worry about it damaging the control levers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Wind-Horse-at-Berthons-106-Edit\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/wind-horse-at-berthons-106-edit.jpg\" width=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We started life five years ago with this forward mast. There were two small problems with it. First, it is right in our line of sight when seated on watch. We have great sight lines now, but this has become annoyance. Second, the big spot light mounted up high cannot be aimed as close as we would like to the bow without illuminating the foredeck and anchor.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" alt=\"Wind-Horse-at-Berthons-121-Edit\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/wind-horse-at-berthons-121-edit.jpg\" width=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is the new mast, now further forward and constructed from two smaller diameter pipes (the FPB 64 has a similar concept). Much more open visually and we will be able to aim that big light much closer to the bow.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"432\" alt=\"Wind-Horse-at-Berthons-126\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/wind-horse-at-berthons-126.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The next project is in the galley where our propane stove is now history. The new induction cook top is installed with matching Corian counter material. The combo microwave\/convection oven is below.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"322\" alt=\"Wind-Horse-at-Berthons-126-2\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/wind-horse-at-berthons-126-2.jpg\" width=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two burners. The sea rail is adapted from our previous stove (there will be four of the pan clamps of which one is shown).
