Good progress over the past couple of months.

Well here I am again with a long overdue update. Over the past couple of months I have made some good progress, concentrating mainly on getting the boat all closed up and weather proof in case she has to be moved in a hurry. The Decks, Cabin top and Cockpit have all been completed. I have also just finished attaching the Toe Rails and Belting, so I will be able to start with sealing and painting the Decks in the next week or two. Once this is done I will be able to fit the 6mm toughened glass to the Portholes. Included in the photographs below is one of the stateroom with a trial run of the cushions to see what they looked like.

Top On

The top is finally on and the cockpit locker floors have been installed. The lockers aft of the cabin will be for gas on the port side and safety gear on the starboard side. I also now have the glass for the portholes. Soon I will have the yacht sealed from the elements which will make it easier to keep the dust out of the interior, which given the wind we have been having lately is a real problem.

It's been a while.

It really has been a while since I updated the blog. The main reason for this is that I work for an IT company that has useless in-house IT, making it virtually impossible to do any updating at work, and then when I get home I do not have time to do anything on the blog as I am working on the yacht. A lot has happened since I last updated, not least of which is the fact that my Landlady wants to sell the house, so I need to do some serious building to get the yacht "water ready". I had been fitting out the interior but have now had to shift focus to getting the decks finished and the cabin top on. next will be the keel. The plus side of this all, of course, is that she is really starting to look like a yacht now. I am just including some photographs here to show progress and will go into more detail about them, and progress thus far,at a later date.
