Upgrades to s/v Lollipop - A Grampian 26
Galley.
The galley, like most of Lollipop, was never touched in all the years of it's existence and due for an overhaul.
-
Sink and faucet, Formica and lift up lid removed.
-
The old fire protection material around the cook stove removed and replaced with copper.
-
Bulkhead storage unit removed and replaced with a swing out plate rack cup holder and shelf, all in Cherry and the rest of the bulkhead clad in acrylic mirror.
-
An open well was created behind the sink and the lift up lid extended from the well to the aft edge of the countertop.
-
Formica was replaced with 1/4” thick granite sheet. ( granite chips embedded in resin on a fiberglass mat and polished in a 2' x 2' sheet) also the open well was lined with this material. Only 3 sheets where required, weight was not really an issue.
Before After
-
Electric water pump removed and replaced with a foot pump and new faucet.
-
Dinette table top replaced with solid quarter sawn White Oak top and a Cherry leg.
-
More plate and glass storage created on the shelf over the quarter berth, all in Cherry.
-
During the winter haul out the inoperable shut off and hose from the sink were replaced.
-
An attempt was made to remove the thru hull also and replace it with Marelon, but it would not budge without major damage to the hull and was left in place.
-
Existing fabric on the hull will be replaced with Dek-master, a 60 mil waterproof all weather vinyl.
