Winter lay-up 2011 / 12

Not much to report


It should be quite a simple lay-up this winter. The only major task is Stanchion Bases, see the projects section. My owner does seem to be making a meal of it. All but one of my stanchion base fixings are moulded into the GRP structure and so are proving quite hard for him to remove.

He bought some cheap antifouling paint, Workboat Red, it's purple, hahaha.


Anyway, I don't mind and apart from when we're on the hard no one will see it. It might teach him to stop being so tight and then he might do at least one job properly!

The only other winter job of any note is that the anchor needs some pads to rest on. I hope that he can find some of that nice oak and use stainless caps for the anchor to rest on.
