The work is continuing of the Chance Restoration teams Jaguar 22 as we get it ready for the week after the late Spring bank holiday weekend

One of the J-Star Marine Services staff lending a hand by compounding the hull while Simon is cleaning the inside the cabin.

The fibreglass interior lining is starting to come cleaner as it is washed down with boat cleaner and a sponge and scrubbing brush to get rid of the more difficult to remove dirt. The rust marks will come out with a bit of compound and a cloth.

Much of the dirt is just on the surface and will be able to come clean and stay clean once the boat is aired out and ventilation is resorted. 

Work in progress as Simon moved back through the cabin and cleans up the years of dirt that a collected .s

More elbow grease needed, however, we are getting there. 

One of the main jobs in the cabin is to sort out any deck leaks and remove the windows and get them resealed and replace all the locker lids. and then get new cushions and paint out the lockers. 

Other jobs that need doing will be all the halyards other lines around the boat which have been left on the mast which by now will be shot, and service the winches and service the engine. We have to make a new outboard motor pad for the outboard bracket as this is missing. The list for getting the boat ready for the water is while long, however, we will get through it and then be able to sail her back to her new mooring in the Walton Backwater.
