Hey all, my name is Jamie and I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife Jane and I have recently purchased a 2002 Mainship Pilot 34 after spending years in the sailing community.
The Mainship was a bit of a fixer upper but is now starting to look up. Over the summer we replaced all of the electronics, replaced the upholstery on the bridge deck, had the injectors in my Yanmar 370 rebuilt, an amazing amount of cleaning and polishing, and a ton more stuff. None of this could have been done without the help of my wife who is an avid boater as well. How avid? Recently she spent hours cleaning the greasy bilge.
Future projects include replacing all hatches, installing davits, installing new batteries and charging system (currently two near death 8D’s), and building and installing a hardtop with solar panels.
Trawler Forum looks like a great spot to harvest info for some of our projects. Looking forward to digging in.
