Vira - Sailboat rebuild, Irwin Citation 34

 Air conditioner. I made Air vents for main cabin. Marine plywood frame and solid teak slats. Plywood cut with CNC to distribute air on proper (fixed) direction. Backside box built from 1/8" foamed PVC sheet. Cut in shape and then mounted on the vent. then worked around with aluminum tape to make it completely sealed.Unfortunately there not enough space to make real "box" on the back.

Other inconvenience it is 4-th dock from the lake and every wake is waking the boat. Today I installed dock wheels.

Air conditioner Received replacement for my PM500-115 raw water pump.Webasto sent it even before received broken one. Looks cool! Right?
