Among the many projects we are hurrying to complete there is one that concerns our security\u00a0while at anchor or when we leave the boat to go ashore.<\/p>\n

In our world without air-conditioning,\u00a0the possibility to lock ourselves in\u00a0when we go to sleep and still be able to have some airflow from what is the biggest opening we have is a\u00a0big\u00a0advantage.<\/p>\n

Beta likes to roam on deck when possible and we want him to be able to go in and out of the boat even when we are not onboard. On the other hand, in warm climates it\u2019s good to be able to leave the boat locked while letting air in and out. It makes a more comfortable boat at our return and also it avoids that Beta gets baked in the process.<\/p>\n

I followed the concept that\u00a0James Baldwin\u2019s developed for his boat Atom to\u00a0design our\u00a0anti-intrusion bars. Here is a picture of the bars he built\u00a0from\u00a0his\u00a0website.<\/a><\/p>\n

We made some changes to the design to make it more simple to build and less expensive overall.\u00a0The bars go in place of two of the three drop boards that locks the companionway. The top drop board sit atop and locks the companionway, and they all slide into solid stainless steel tracks that\u00a0I installed back when I rebuilt the companionway.<\/p>\n

Design of the security bars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bars are made of 1\/2 inch 316 stainless solid rod bought on Buymetal.com and sent from Pennsylvania, which makes Kate even prouder as she is originally from Steel Country.<\/p>\n

The construction took 3 hours and James helped with the welding and the use of his equipment and power tools. I have to say that metal construction is fun, exciting and very useful. I look forward to polish my skills in this subject.<\/p>\n
