I've been having some fun(?) over the past couple of days trying to identify and trace wiring. When we bought Wendy Woo her mizzen mast was unstopped. Also, when she was road moved from Ramsgate to Dartmouth her main mast was unstopped as well (obviously). However, it would appear that when the masts were removed the electric cables serving various systems were just cut at deck level. Given that there are cables serving navigation lights, deck lights, VHF aerials, radar antennae and other, possibly redundant systems, I have had to try and identify each one. This isn't helped by the fact that the masts are still lying beside the hull and so I'm unable to connect systems together. But this all appeals to my logical brain and I think I now know what each cable does. I'll work out a way of testing things like the radar prior to fitting the masts as it will be easier to repair things at deck level.
No photographs of work today to here's one of earlier days:
