The work continues to continue back on the dock

A sneak preview of the new upholstery in place. The walls are almost completed with the new almond arborite. The second side is awaiting completion of the wiring.

The final coat of wax is almost completed and her topsides are as fresh and shiny as she was new.

The new vents are in place and the tender is heading for winter storage.

Doug has replaced the leads and has timed the engines to book specs. With the new dedicated batteries and cables she should roar to life. There was barely any charge getting through before. The old wires were in a shambles.

The pump pictured was hidden under the old hot water tank. The now closed inlet was inaccessible and noted on the survey as requiring attention. The old bilge pump works beautifully and the drain plug that was used for a salt water wash-down has been properly sealed off.

Doug is moving the water tank to centre line of the boat, and the batteries have been moved aft and to the starboard side to help level the boat. There were three bags of sand in the boat to off-set the appliances and helm on the port side. The sand bags have been removed and the boat is pretty close to level and her nose is out of the water slightly more. We have yet to fill the fuel tanks.
