The new rope fender on single highhandedly as it was when they were put on in Hardy Marine

The first thing you have o do is run lengths of 4 mm light line to 2 ft lengths and put them through the lacing eyes on the hull 

Then put them through the centre of the rope fender and tie them off 

The tension up the rope fender around the transom 

Then tie off the ends with more light line and the job is finished apart of cutting off the ends of the lines and sealing them off

One of the reasons for the windows leaking and the new perspex windows and rubber surrounds being fitted.

The windows and rubber surrounds that were removed leaked was because they were only sealed along the top edge. As seen in the first three photos. This is not the way they came out of Hardy Marine as the colour of the sealant is wrong, as it was black sealant that was put in the windows.

The last three windows fitted and now needs the sealant and insert fitted to finish the job off and ensure the windows are sealed.
