We’ve got doors … well nearly!
The rear bulkhead from inside ...
… and outside from the back deck
George has been inspecting the underside - here you can see the swim, the propeller shaft fitting, the weed-hatch and the hole where the rudder will fit.
Whoops… the front door is a bit narrow!!
How do you prevent everything from rusting? Just paint or?
ReplyDeleteThe scale of the boat is amazing!
Brgds, Steve
Hi Steve, yes she certainly is big! She will have 2 x coats of etched primer that should keep rust at bay and 6 sacrificial anodes under the water will prevent further rust. We take our boat out of the water every 2-years to re-black the bottom with a bitumin-type product to keep the hull in good condition. Regards to the family - have a great Christmas!
DeleteAh that is ready for a cat flap for you Carol! You having an axiom?
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a cat flap will solve the problem for sure! Yes we’re having an axiom - should be delivered early in the new year - a 4-bladed one this time!
