The speedboat repairs moving along well with the new bulkhead and bracing ready to put the new hull panels on

The new aft section of fore and aft bulkhead now glued into position and glued to the original section of sound bulkhead


The aft end of the bulkhead now ready to be glued and fixed to the transom 


Now glued and screwed into position 


Now its the turn of the starboard side to be reconstructed like the port side, the first part is done that of the new panel on the inside of the transom, now the bulkhead now needs sorting out and the bracing needs re-fitting and then the hull paneling can be fix and glued in position 


One major project and one much smaller project

The next major project for the company to do over the winter 


A much smaller project the fitting out of the Mai-Star Class dinghy, It needs its centreboard case fixing in position  and then its rowlocks and other equipment to make it into  a sailing dinghy


Over the next few months get its spars made and then get its sail made by a local sailmaker and then take it on its trial sail



The Finesse 24 re-decking is now completed and just a bit of varnishing and painting the hull and the boat will be ready to transport back to its home base

The last of the deck fittings now fitted and the new deck as just got to be painted with its final coat of deck paint


All the deck fittings apart from the Genoa tracks which the owner wishes to put on himself when the yacht is delivered back to his home base


The top plank has now got a good amount of varnish on its plank and should last a good amount of time before it needs re-varnishing



Now good looking from all directions
