Designing and Building a new Nav Station for a 1965 Alberg 30 Sailboat
Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.

Hello Friends,
We have another small series of Projects for y’all. This time we are designing and building out the new Navigation Station on SV Triteia. As I mention in the video this project took me FOREVER to complete. I ended up making 3 different complete switch panel / housings before I finally made one I was really happy with.
The main factor in the whole process was that I was also designing and building out my Chart Table ( https://youtu.be/mAUi2lt6kqA )at the same time and the final Chart Table design directly affected what was possible with the switch panels. Also early on I tried to make the Chart Table top and panel faces out of a variety of different wood/surface treatments; Stained Marine Ply, Hardboard, Europly before I ended up just making everything out of high quality Baltic Birch and laminating it with white durable formica.
This video is a little spotty in the fact that while I was finalizing the switch panels I was going full throttle on my Stove Enclosure build out ( https://youtu.be/Bw_tRFfVJ30 ) and I was so frustrated with the switch panels and focused on building and filming the Stove Enclosure that I didn’t video all aspects of Nav Station construction.
I did however film a TON of footage of the actually installation of the panels and all of their instruments on the boat. So this first video is just a collection of some of the footage of the lay out design and cutting out the aft panel and trimming the formica.
In the next episode we get into the real fun of the project!
Fair Winds,
Sailor James
