Contessa 26 Refit ep.24 - Muffler and Jib Sheet "Preventer"

[@brianhepworth4854]

I’ve said this before, but i really like the clean and tidy way you work… I’ve just started renovating my own contessa- a jeremy roger’s version and your videos are a real boon for me. thank you for sharing them.

Nice idea, the jib sheet preventer! The sheets on my Shipman 28 used to catch the cleat during unrolling, it helped to pull both sheets while starting to unroll the genoa. During tacking I've not found it a problem

This is the same muffler recommended by Torrensen's Marina in Muskegon where I did my first launch after installing a Yanmar 1GM10 and re-wiring of the boat. I will install the muffler this Spring. Thanks for sharing your install.

I really enjoy your videos! We have a 1978 contessa 26 that we bought about a year ago, and of course we have projects to try to keep her in good shape. Your videos are great for inspiration. Do you have any videos that shows the head connection? That was one of my first projects and ours is functional but very smelly and I wonder if I installed everything the best way possible. Thanks for the videos

Thanks for the kind feedback. I addressed the head in ep. 3, but there isn't much detail on the connections other than the hose replacements. In short: The toilet connects to a holding tank under the v-berth with 1.5" sanitation hose. The 1.5" pump-out hose coming from the holding tank goes to a Y-diverter valve, where I can select to divert to the deck pump out or the manual pump that pumps overboard right through a seacock.
