Although there is a lot of work to be done I take the chance to spend the weekend in Gloucestershire.
Returning on Monday I make arrangements to have a variety of repairs and upgrades undertaken. The yard is pretty empty and all the contractors, most of whom I have used before, are extremely helpful and by Friday 15th all work is complete.
Work done:
- Repare fist sized indent in keel following breakwater contact in Holland.
- Repare cosmetic void in GRP at corner of mast step.
- Re-cut ghosting genoa and install extension clip at deck to aid deployment.
- Dealer service Yanmar engine.
- Adjust and secure engine to shaft clamp.
- Replace seawater cooling hose.
- Reinstall and secure stripper.
- Remove Autohelm GPS , Scanner and Radar Dispaly and replace with
- Raymarine C80 Display/Plotter and Raymarine GPS Receiver.
- Replace hanked on staysail with Furlex furler and new sail from Arun Sails.
We launch on Friday 15th at 12:10 and on the way down river stop at the fuel barge for 57 litres of diesel @ £0.64 per litre.
