Busy times down at the boatyard and in the workshop

 As spring as just sprang then the boatyard and workshop go into overdrive with a number of jobs all coming together. The refit of the Hardy Pilot is well underway with the holes in the galley unit getting filled up with custom made panels to fill in the holes where a former owner had cut holes to fit door in the unit to use the area under the galley area for storage. Which the present owner wishes to return the boat to its former three berth layout. 

The Hardy Pilot is also having a new toilet bulkhead and doors which will be edged. The the head linings being recovered with the same material as the cabin sidelinings which have been glued in position over the weekend and the new Perspex cabin windows and rubbers have been fitted, they just need sealant putting between the rubber and the windows and the rubber and the cabin side and then the insert fitted to finish off that job. 

It as also had a new cabin floor fitted and glassed in place and just needs flowcoating when it as cured. So this Hardy Pilot is have a major refit to get it ready for the new season when it is possible to get out on the water in the summer. 


The8 ft. dinghy is coming along with the centre thwart being made  and the blocks epoxied in position which will then be glassed over and the thwart fixed to the glassed in blocks.



Starting to set out the floor board pieces and when the other pieces are machined up the floorboards will be then fixed together. 


Then theotherboats in and around the workshop and the boatyard can be worked on as well
