“Nesting” Project
The nesting process is making the boat a safe, comfortable, and happy home – what stuff and where to put it.

Masts and More…
Now that we’re back afloat and living on board again, we need to finish and re-assemble a lot of things before we can sail.

DIY Hall
Here’s where we start doing the work ourselves… in the aptly named do-it-yourself hall. Dione IV will look better than new!
-
Painting Hall
Off to the painting hall we go, and Dione IV gets several layers of primer underneath our new Coppercoat bottom paint.
-
Grit Blasting
Dione IV is moved to the grit blasting hall, will be wrapped in thick plastic foil, and the bottom will be blasted with grit.
-
Steel Welding
In the steel welding hall, convex shapes are added for the bow thruster for improved hydrodynamics.

This is how it all started…
Thanks to Lovesail.com, a dating and social-networking website for people passionate about sailing, two avid sailors and full-time live-aboard cruisers from different countries halfway around the world (who were otherwise unlikely to have ever met), found each other. And so began the journey to share love and life, and fulfill their dreams together!
Dione IV first gets some enhancements and spa treatments in the boat yard, and then we sail off into the sunset!….
