I decided to go for new instruments. Decided to combine the Vulcan 7R and B&G 60B VHF with  Raymarine EV-100 Sail with p70s, ACU100, EV1, wheeldrive | T70152; and Triton 2 with DST 810 and B&G wind transducer. Changed the console panel with a black one from SVB, I can just complain about quality of the plastic. Looks like that. At least now the boat speed, autopilot,  and wind indicator are working. The connection scheme looks like that.

 After 19 years it is about the time to change the running rigging of Veni. I went for 10 mm for hallyiards and 8 mm for the trimming lines of Marlow Doublebraid, and 12 mm of U Rope for the sheets.

 Since I sail mainly alone I think it is a good idea to get a lazy bag. I got it online from compass24.nl.

 The time for launch is here. Beautiful day to start the season.

I painted this year Veni with two layers of Hempel classic 71220 navy blue. Looks awesome 👌 

I decided to try to cover the saildrive and the propeller with the propsspeed. It is advertised as the best running gear coating on the market, recognised as the most effective solution to prevent marine growth and protect underwater assets. https://propspeed.com/products/propspeed/product-information Actually looks pretty good. They say it can be used like for 3 years before you need to change it. Let see how it will goes.
