Refit S&S Swan 44 Northern Child

Hello Forum,

What a valuable information data bank this is!

We just purchased Swan 44 nr 22 Northern Child.

During this winter we will renovate the beautifull yacht. 

The boat is empty and there is a lot to do!

Will try to keep this thread as a bit of progress reporting.

Some time have past since last post. The Northern Child is start to look better again. Renovating a boat is always more work as expected. 

As you can see here several things have been changed:

Rudder was overhauled

Deck repaired

New enterance

Created an closed anker hatch with outside de-watering

bow thruster installed

Painting outside and inside

All wires replaced

All parts removed and checked

 

Currently busy with a new ceiling and final decisisions on the electrical components

 

Next big challenge is the mast and deck layout. We never sailed with the Northern Child. So we need to base us on pictures.

Wow!  I am so impressed by all the great progress you have made, and in a relatively short time period.  The work you have done looks beautiful!  Thanks for sharing all the interesting photos.  Good luck with the next steps.
