Maintenance/Repair Details: With the start of the 2025 season we have decided its time for a major refurbishment of the deck & superstructure beginning with repainting the wheelhouse interior ceiling as following a cold & wet winter the paintwork is showing signs of cracking and discolouration.
We plan on lifting the boat, she stayed in the water this winter, and locating her in the boat shed for a few weeks in order to do the following:
- Repaint the saloon, wheelhouse and aft cabin superstructure.
- Strip and relay the decking (not the aft sun deck).
- Strip, re-stain and vanish the rubbing band.
- Re-varnish the mast.
- Tend to any interior woodwork issues as required.
- Service the engines.
Let work commence!!
 |
| First job is to re-stain & revarnish the mast. |
 |
| New wheel cover fitted and brass work polished. The two oil pressure warning lights on the top section of the dashboard have been changed to LED lights, much brighter. The two battery charge lights will be changed to LEDs in the near future. |
 |
| The wheelhouse roof has now been sanded down and re-painted in a soft cream rather than the harsh white in was. |
