I made some blocks out of rose wood, but changed later to ash. Here the blocks resting on the Iroko hatch of the rear cabin.

Pinrails, belay pins and traditional blocks give a bot a special charm, and are very, very practical as it turned out. I made 2 x 30kg , 2 x 45kg and 1x 60kg anchors, window frames, gas sensors and other electronic monitors, bought a tractor for its engine.

I discarded a Ford and Mercedes engine in favour of an aircooled Deutz that runs free of vibration, removes condensation from the boat, heats the boat and dries the washing.
