Another quick update: all the painting is finished inside the cabin. The flip up day bed is set up. Switch boards installed. I put the solar panels on yesterday. The heater is half installed. Started to run the wires to the switch board.

She’s all primed up, sealed up, beltings on, all the bollards are in place and hand rail blocks are in place. That’s it for this year. We are in the process of pricing a trailer for next year’s launching. Labour weekend is planned for launching . Hoping everyone has a good Christmas and enjoy new years

Quick update starting to pull the shed down so I can get to the hull to put belting’s on etc. now in decent light I have some paint touch ups to do. Definitely on target for launching labour weekend next year.

Still chipping away at the wee girl. Got the white on the wheelhouse glossed last week, made new wheelhouse doors for the back and hatch lids the week before. Sealed in the anchor winch and bollard then painted the blue this weekend
