4th July update

We can now report that Fully Involved is now fully repaired J ....It took 6 Months to the day but it is all done.
After many Man/Woman  hours of polishing, washing, scrubbing with various chemicals, the yard at last saw sense and got in a professional cleaner to put right the white residue staining damage done by them when they tried to remove the rust staining they did when drilling out the rivets on the goose neck. Now I guess you are all wondering what the magical cleaner was that put things right.....Well it was good old house hold Jiff cleaner, the white one not lemon!

We will be having a new Bimini and dodger made next week as we still have the original fitted and it is looking very tired. We will retain the side curtain and clear window set up, it will take some time to do, but will make her look fantastic.

The previously Bimini mounted 85W solar panel has now been relocated and will live permanently on the rear arch. I had to move around various GPS antennas to make room for it. I also added 2 stainless steel bracing struts for the rear facing radar to help relieve strain on the support welds.

So that ends that saga, all we need now is some decent weather to go sailing.....Or more likely, we will put her on the market and go get another yacht but take longer over the trip, any offers on a brilliant IP420????.......

Keep watching.......Mike.
