HAULOUT

 

 

 

Hauled the boat for a week for antifouling and afew jobs.
There has been a slow leak that I wanted to find and sure enough the aft stopwater was weeping , so drilled it out and banged in a new dry heart Kauri one (35mm dia)
Also had the prop "Prospeeded " and new zinc down aft.

BOXES!

Finally got all the galley boxes stained and installed. There was a bit of final fitting as I made them tightish to not rattle and the hull changes shape . . .

BOXES

Got sick of the plastic bins in the galley so have measured and made 11 tomber boxes with hand holds. Will stain and number them.....

MOERANGI

 

Some of you may remember her as the 112 year old LOGAN motorsailor that I helped bring up from Auckland.
You can see their famous method of constuction, 2 diagonal inner skins of 13mm and the outer fore and aft ,caulked planking of 30mm allon stringers and bulkheads- no ribs or frames.
Hauling Mason Bay monday fot antifoul and a few other jobs.

DINGHY FINAL

 

Had the second launching of the dinghy and she is now lifted onto the cabin roof of Mason Bay.
Well ploeased, but it did take some hours!
