We'll just keep it going with sticky plasters and glue. Doesnt need to be flash- just not sink.  But yeah...gonna have to spend some monies on radio/lifevests etc

 

Oh..and boat shoes, Rolexs, raybans, porsches etc etc that go with the yachting highlife...

Its actually pretty solid Torrie. Worst thing is what the harsh nelson sun has donw to the varnished bits up top. We are going to build a boat shed so it lasts longer out of the sun and rain. Its glass over ply and underside is pretty darn good but for some cracking in two areas on the paint that I will sand back and touch up. The inside colours are pretty rank so will get new paint everywhere there. hannah doesnt like the peach colour up top so we'll have to agree on a new shade. One front sail, rigger?, sail is torn but fixable. Not sure yet if mine or mums sewing machine would do it so might be something we have to get fixed :-0

 

Lots of sanding back of loose, crazed paint and repainting then. Not a job for the hot sun we have right now especially inside where its like a bloody furnace. Needs vents and opening front windows! But sooooooooooooooooo much potential. Looking forward to removing lots of the yucky painted trim bits of wood and replacing with a durable hardwood or cedar etc left bare/oiled to break up the paint. Make some hardwood duck boards for the floor too if thats what they are called.

 

Watched that video ' holdfast' on vimeo last night- was fucking good!  cheers

 

anyway- pic of hannah sweating inside yesterday. seriously a hot place to be in that cabin on a sunny day!...
