...and more ticks...

More work is being done/has been done..
  • Companionway hatches have been sanded, filled, sanded again, and had a first coat of paint - they need another but look OK, some further remedial work is required on the upper one..
  • An addition steel keel plate has been added to the bottom of the tender to help protect against dragging when I come ashore..  it and the rest of the bottom of the tender where it was scratched over last summer have been painted.


  • The tiller pilot rest, and the tiller pilot support have both been sanded and painted - calling them done
  • I also went round the waterline with a detail sander and removed as much as I could of the ingrained green staining she's picked up over the years - she looks a ton better
  • Yesterday I went to pick up the foresail from the sailmakers where they have been fitting a smaller luff bead/tape to allow it to fit the new furler - here's hoping! 😏
Launch day in a week...  better get cracking with the last bits, first though the Jolly Boys are going on their first trip on Monday!
