increasing fuel capecity

Dear Ballad-friends, As you all know the dieseltank of a Ballad is rather small (33liters). I know I have a sailboat but each year I make about 150 till 200 hundred enginehours. The place of the tank does not cost much space, so from that point of view it is okay. However the position is horizontal ...

Diesel Fuel Sensor

The rheostat/float from my fuel sensor - made by VDO- serial no 81/9/1 - 2/72
is faulty - the coil in the rheostat has degraded. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement ?

Moments of Clarity (extra storage space in the forecabin)

I wanted to create some extra storage space in the forecabin in order to be able to store a portable generator. Obviously, the extra space that was created can be used for storing various objects. From the photos you'll notice that I actually created two spaces, one for bigger items (e.g. generator)...

Re: Inner lining

jespermilling wrote on Dec 30, '08 Hi Rosie This is not what you asked for, but it sounds like the lining has to be removed, the remaining foam has to be sanded off, and a new lining has to be installed with the proper type of glue.

Inner lining

The inner lining for the hull is peeling away from the hull in the forepeak and the starboard pilot berth, perhaps caused by dampness and bouncing across waves this summer. The lining has defied all attempts so far to restick it, including double sided carpet tape and elephant tape. The back was evi...

Instrument back panel

One of the nice features of our Ballad when I bought it four years ago was an array of brand new electronic instruments. They ranged from a chartplotter and multi-function wind and depth instruments to a fish finder. They certainly add to the convenience and safety of sailing, and we have enjoyed th...
