Category: Woodwork, Hull Work, Decking
Maintenance/Repair Details: Due to the small amount of cruising undertaken since the last liftout Kevayling needs some attention to the stbd side rubbing strake, damaged in the high winds of early 2026, a change of anodes and a reseal of the decking. Plus, on close attention, we found that the winch block on the foredeck was in urgent need of replacement.
Lifted on Tuesday 2nd June and first job before going on holiday was to replace the worn anodes on the transom and trim tabs and get a coat of deck seal on the decking.
On our return work commenced in earnest on another coat of deck seal and removing the damaged section of wooden rubbing strake. Other work carried out was removal of the winch, removal of the old mounting block and making a new one to replace it. This was all reassembled, painted and sealed.
Antifoul was reapplied along the hull side (planned work ahead to remove ALL antifoul on the hull).
Small hole caused by wood rot on stbd cockpit support treated, filled and made good.
Deck third coat of seal applied.
