Under a week go to!

She’s really coming together now!

I’m very glad I spent last month making her ready to launch and so am not anxiously antifouling and sealing underwater fittings at this stage. I have instead been spending most of my time on woodwork.

It has consisted of fitting teak/holly flooring, interior trim and cockpit planking.

Other jobs have included the ongoing gathering of the mass of bits and bobs required for fundamental operations: mooring, anchoring, comms, safety, cooking, navigating, etc etc. Sailing!

I’m hoping to finish fitting the interior trim, paint cupboard doors, oil all the woodwork, fit latches on all the cupboards, make 6 drawers…, and fit the standing and running rigging all in time for the launch! We will see how that goes.

Looking smart.
Cockpit planking.
Anchor chain ready to go.
She’s got a name!
