It has been awhile since we redesigned the interior of Yasmine Ann. We have been enjoying it everyday. A few tweaks, but it basically remains as shown in the video.
Since it is such a big part of the boat, figured I should bring up the link again.

Helm Update
We updated the helm 3 years ago, but had stopped blogging by then. The main reason, we did the upgrade, was due to the removal of the electronics during our interior update. It was also time to update all of our electronics to the NMEA2000 standards.
Everything in the new dash is new, except the hour meters. We added inductive sensors into the diesel fuel tanks, so we finally have fuel gauges that work. New Stereo, GPS, Autopilot w/Electric Drive, Wind, Depth and VHF. Everything is connected through the NMEA backbone. We also sent the wheel out to be dipped in a vinyl covering.
The other purpose of the design was to get the instruments up from behind the wheel. The original design required you to reach through or over the wheel to instruments. Now everything is right at the level needed to for quick viewing and access.
For the new design, the dash was built out of Nida-Core and then Hydro-Dipped. This is the color and design you see. We dipped the throttle assembly to match. It is clear coated, like a car, so now it just gets waxed once a year.
To make the upgrade properly, all of the old wiring was removed before new wiring went in. Wouldn't want to be one of those boaters who leaves the old mess and just adds to it.

The chartplotter is a 9" display, but I left room for a larger one if desired.

Been Awhile
Hello to anyone who is still registered to our blog. With Yammy using Facebook, we dropped from the blogging world.
We are back because we are looking to sell S/V Yasmine Ann. Being so successful with Yumsuch, we thought we would first start posting here.
If anyone is still watching, we will be posting some selling information, upgrades, pictures and videos as time goes by.
Feel free to contact us if you are interested.
Stay safe and virus free!
