The Work Continues

So the target is Brest 2008. We may have some crew, we do have a work plan, and things are progressing as well as can be expected. There was extra rot in the stem which we didn't know about  but did suspect. We've pulled the rotten frames, the rusted floors and all the cabinetry, and replaced a good deal of it. We also found a bargin on getting the stanchions increased in height to be safe for the children and happily enough, in line with MCA regs too. :)

So after a rather large amount of teak, oak, mahogany and some reclaimed iroko for the galley bench tops, here are some pictures of were progress stands:

The f'c'sle, before much work.

Later once the new bunk structure begins to go in, with some new frames and a piece in the stem if you look closely.

The galley when being ripped out, with some odd spice space.

And then to cap it all we have an overall of the main saloon as a workshop, living space:

And our chances of getting to Brest? About 80% I would think. We have to reseal the decks, and do some structural stuff in the stern, do a bit of wiring, a lot of plumbing, a lot of varnishing and painting, rework the doghouse, install some decent nav kit, and some odd and sods......

...in 3 months. It should be possible.  :)
