Just a few days off to have a reset period before the Autumn and get ready for the laying up period.

As part of the reset it is time to move these projects along and get them finished and on the market and move them on to their new owners.

A major part of this is to get the jobs finished and empty the workshop and make room for the next lot of boats to come into the workshop and yard to be worked on over the autumn and winter months

This Wayfarer dinghy is now in its final stages of its major refit and is going to be ready to be re-rigged and have the rigging and sails inspected to ensure they are ok and sorted ready for its new owner.

The 8ft  outboard/ rowing tender is ready to go with its own launching trolley. Just add water and away you go. 

For something different a classic Windboat's Pearly Miss runabout which is under going a major refit and can be purchased as a project or you can get  team at J-Star Marine Services to finish her off to a high standard and have a classic runabout for next season.

Having a Yard and Workshop SALE as I scaling back my business

As part of my scaling back my business I am having a yard and workshop sale to sell any of the boatyard equipment I will not need in the future and have not used for sometime.

I am not retiring from boat building just scaling back my business to a more flexible size business.

 

Finally fitting the first part of the keel and now on to the next pieces to make up the keel.

The part of the new keel now glued on with marine sealant  and bolted through the hull with bolts and large penny washers and then get ready for the next stage of the build up of the keel pieces.

With this piece of keel the back of the boat is now got a lot of it strength back along the centre line of the hull.

The next pieces now dry fitted in position just got to sort out how to fix these parts . they are going to glued and then have lengths of studding put through the other parts of the keel pieces to fix them as well as epoxy glue the parts together.

Got to make up a wedge to fit in the part between the next pieces once these are sorted the last long piece will be glued and fixed in position.
