Boat in the Water

I got the call from Emsworth and our lovely Rival is back in the water now. The mast should have been stepped now. Now we just have to get her ready for the sea and move her to Plymouth.

We are still holding out for the bank holiday weekend but may, hopefully be able to fit a quick shakedown sail in before then. I am going down soon to finish getting her ready for sea. As ever, this seems to involve endless lists.

1. Run engine up and make sure it is working OK
2. Bend on the sails
3. Start process of fitting the AIS jobbie.
4. Sort out boding wire for zinc anode
5. Sort out process for flying the cruising chute.
6. Loads of other stuff.
