In the workshop there as been a grand unmasking of the Morgan Giles 30 with the cabin side being unmasked for the first time in 2.5 years and showing there is some small areas that need working on.
The edges of the deck primer need sanding back to they have smooth edges before they are given their final coat of epoxy primer later next week,
The hardy 25 varnishing production line is still well underway with the second batch of bulkheads and panels getting their build up thinned coats of varnish.
They have now had four coats of 50/50 thinned varnish before they get a couple of coats of 75% varnish
As with all refits there are a few parts that are not going back in.
clearing space for another work station in the temporary workshop in the yard to work on parts from Mai Star II across the yard from the temporary workshop
The temporary workshop is where the boats waiting to come into the workshop are being stored until there is space in the workshop to work on them.
Mai Star II now as her deck and cabin sides removed so that the work on replacing her rotten top of her frames and broken ribs can be worked on easier without the cabin sides and decks being in the way. Just got to put the framework of the temporary shed back up once the parts are welded back together which got broken in a gale a couple of years ago and not had the chance to weld up. That should be done over the next few weeks so that work can start on her shortly.
This cover is only temporary as We are getting the original cover repaired and once that is done then the shed will be well protected for the winter.
