Piriapolis Boatyard Day 18

Six years with Kiriwina! I took delivery at Itchenor on 8th August 2005.

First thing this morning the new waterline was given a final sanding and then tie coated as were other areas made good.

This is very good work. Imperial Yachts have taken great care to do the job thoroughly with a tight schedule and often inclement weather.

The boat yard shuffled the deck today and we were moved at 14:00. We took the opportunity of putting the launch back by 24 hours. Just in case.

Areas adjacent to the props were anti-fouled last night so the props could be repositioned slightly ensuring all areas of the hull are fully painted.

Meantime I finished cleaning and freeing up 6 A frame clamps on the Pushpit.

Another long, but very productive, day. The second coat of antifouling was completed in fading light.

We are almost done. Just some detailing here and there, some polishing, a bit of touching up on the anti fouling, anodes, rudder tiller assembly and we will be pretty much good to go.
