About Me

My photo
Alaska, United States
I am owned by Pauline and Mark Blasky. My hull was built at the Duncan Marine Yard in Taiwan and launched in Dec of 1980. It is a William Garden design based on the Pixie Design and called by Duncan Marine a Freedom 45. They are the fourth owners and have owned me the longest. They have done extensive refitting to me including replacing my entire deck structure and rig. My masts are roughly 10% taller than original and now are made of aluminium as opposed to the original wood ones, which, though pretty, were always problematic.

Headliners

No this is not something from the newspapers.  Headliners are those soft cloth pieces glued to the deck head.  They hide ceiling blemishes and you can run your wires under them etc.  but the biggest thing they do is add some insulation.  And we are going to need that during the winter in Japan.  We are making our own, er Pauline is making I am helping!  Anyway we are using Thermozite covered with Naugasoft.  We have then stitched a seam around the perimeter with Velcro and have used a piece of Velcro in the middle to keep the sags out.  Normally we would save this job for Japan, but we felt we needed to make a bit of a dent in it before we left to know about how much stuff we would need to carry to Japan.  The pictures show the last piece going up in the main salon.
