MANY thanks to Blair Boats for making the project happen!

Painting the fo'c'sle

We have started to finish the fo'c'sle, as this process is more easily accomplished before the foredeck has been fitted. This space will be used to store spare sails, and lighter items such as fenders etc. Note the chain locker (the smaller opening) just forward of the bulkhead. A large deck hatch on the port side of the foredeck will be used to store mooring lines, fenders and anchor when on passages.

The rudder has been completed with a coat of epoxy undercoat. This will be fitted into the rudder bearing housing and rudder shoe on the boat, once the engine and prop shaft have been fitted.
