The Morgan Giles 30 at another boatyard near to my yard which has the equipment to install the engine and erect the mast and get it rigged  and have the Pilpit and Pushpit and stanchions refitted.

Also the patches on the bottom that were not able to be  Gelshielded  before can now be done before the bottom is antifouled..
