In the period from 17 August to 7 November 2020, the SeaQuest is located at Adams Boat Care in Sweden for a refit aimed at living comfortably on the boat. We are closely involved in the refit throughout this period...

The most important part of the refit in Sweden is the conversion of the aft cabin to a center bed layout. We had the model with three beds and a bench in between. We wanted the layout with a center bed. We...

The layout of the cabin on the starboard side just in front of the tip with a bunk bed is actually only useful if you need more than one berth. In practice we never used the upper bunk bed and it felt like...

The corona situation with a lot of working from home makes us think about two good workplaces on board where we can both work undisturbed with a lot of video calls. The plan was a new workplace for Mira in the...

The switch to a layout with a centre bed in the aft cabin creates the possibility of a good workplace for Mira on the starboard side. This is important now that we are going to live on the boat for a longer period of time and because...

Now that we are going to live on board for a longer period of time, we think it is important to have a good washing machine and preferably also a drying machine on board. So that we are not dependent on the facilities in marinas for this. We had such a compact Candy...

The card table is standard too high in relation to the seat height of the bench to sit there comfortably. Toine partly solved this problem herself at the beginning of this year by temporarily increasing the seat height of the chair and...

We've had new carpets laid all over the boat. The standard colour cream from Hallberg-Rassy is just a bit darker than the previous floor covering, with a small speck of warm brown. Very nice and somewhat less contagious 😃. We...

Toine's coffee machine is located in a beautiful niche in the greenhouse above the engine room.    

The SeaQuest has a complex network for navigation equipment. This is due to the amount of devices in combination with the different ages of these devices. We prefer to renew the network only for parts where necessary, especially if...

A good internet connection throughout the boat is probably a wish of many sailors. Like Toine 😎, me and our girls 😉. In most marinas wifi for wireless internet connection is available but the quality often is poor. And once on the way you have to switch back to 3G/4G.

Toine has made a very nice electricity scheme of the whole circuit of the boat. In recent years he has adapted and organized this circuit to his own wishes. He keeps track of every change. The power consumers...

Another obvious improvement of this winter is the renovation of the two card tables in the cockpit to the left and right of the entrance. The edges in many places are bare and can clearly be a...

In the winter of 2018/2019 Toine in particular will be working on the SeaQuest again for a number of weekends, one of the most eye-catching jobs being the replacement of the old yellowed wind-happers with the new ventilation grilles that...
