New Season - New Look

 Category: Hull, Interior & Engines 


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!!

The wheelhouse roof has now been sanded down and re-painted in a soft cream rather than
the harsh white in was. 

Next 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

Started work on removing
port side deck covering.
Started work on removing
port aft deck covering.

Refurbished RADAR dome and applied a new
 makers label (using our stencil cutting machine.)
