DaylIght savings at last!

25/9/2017

While it's been a bit different this morning with all the usual changes that daylight savings brings with it, we are thriled it's finally here! Besides the initial few days of getting our bodies accustomed to the earlier starts, it's also a welcome change to gain more daylight hours and the general feeling and motivation that Spring brings with it!

Since removing the shed the main priority was to finish the stainless work on the aft rail and bow rail so we can mount those and finish the lifelines. We also had to make a plan getting on and off the boat having 'lost' our scaffold steps so Pete found a solution so we can use the steps that usually go on the toe rail to also be used for our steps up the transom - he's a smart man alright!
With the lifelines done and daylight hours increasing it's time to focus on the next part of the project and process which is reducing the draft/keel. Out came the plan for the keel modifications, off Peter went with his huge grinder and we are now waiting for the crane to arrive tomorrow to turn the keel over so Peter can cut the other side. We've already bought a few sheets of steel and the dirty work is about to begin. It will be a challenging new project but we are looking forward to having a more manageable draft while maintaining safety and performance aspects.

Just in time to keep our motivation going we also received a surprise letter from the designer, David Alan-Williams, with some encouraging words and a good luck token enclosed - what a fantastic motivation booster that was!

​I will be documenting the keel modifications over the next month or two so make sure you check back and watch this space xx
