Boat upholstery project

-

 It’s taken more than a month but I’m in the final stages of reupholstering the entire boat. 

These are the seat backs for the port side settee. I’m using ONE PIECE patterned material for the seat backs.

I’m reusing the foam from the old seat backs. Original plan was to cut new foam but since this project is taking way longer than I initially planned I’m just rolling with it.

I’m creating buttons for the cushions using Sailrite SnapTogether Button Form 7/8” buttons notions. It takes about 5 minutes to create each button.
Probably will spend the day working on this project.
See you on the seas
Captain Knotty

EAST CHINA SEA (April 13, 2021) — YouTubers — S/V Shinki Itten — joined the crew of S/V Knotty Girl for a two-hour sunset cruise. Captain Vincent of S/V Taihei also joined for the trip. The Shinki Itten crew — James and Ayano — is visiting Okinawa for the first time so Capt. J wanted to make the trip up the coast fun with a few extra hands. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. This was also Capt. Vincent’s first sail aboard S/V Knotty Girl, a 1996 Okazaki-made 34-foot cruiser.

ABOARD S/V KNOTTY GIRL (APRIL 9, 2022) -- DJ Skeezy and DJ Em returned to Okinawa recently for a family vacation and finally got the chance to take a sunset cruise aboard my boat. They brought their two-year-old son along and crew member Dan also joined us for the ride.  I originally met DJ Skeezy when I was playing gigs on ukulele at the old Pour House adjacent to Alaha Park. He moved off of Okinawa a few years ago but we've remained friends on Facebook. So, when he returned I wanted to show he what's he's been missing in Okinawa. Afterward we had a party on the boat and got to view a nearly perfect sunset.
