Sailing with fire.

New Interior and New Tools

Its been a bit of a while, but thing have progessed. The interior nears completion. The galley is complete, and the forecastle has been built, stripped, new floors fitted and the cabinetry refitted.

 

We also bought a  Fein Mutltimaster which is a bit of a special piece of kit. Despite rave reviews on various forums, I was a bit sceptical about it, until we started playing with it. It cuts out bulkheads with ease (tested) it cleans out deck seams (tested) it cuts out old sealant to release deck fittings (tested) it cuts off old nails and screws (tested), and should save huge amounts of time in re-caulking the decks.

 

We also squeezed CdG into the barn, so now she is completely undercover. Squeezed being the operative word. She was actually about 15 mm too high to get in, but as the main hatch slides slipped under the door lintel and the bottom of the cradle dragged along the ground, the barn was forced to lift just enough to gain admittance.

There should be no stopping us completing the tasks in time!

She really does look good from her rear end, big old thing isnt she?
