The holes progress



Quite a lot of progress today; Bruno repaired the handrail (just some final sanding to do) and largely completed the fairing for the forward looking sonar (first picture). The work on the through-hulls should be finished monday, as should the handrail. Hopefully I can do the cabling for the two new sensors over the weekend so we can at least dry test everything before I leave early Tuesday morning (for London). The 2nd picture shows the core taken out of the hull; the outer skin is only 5mm think, better not hit a rock sideways!! (there is always the inner skin I guess). We also ground out the 2 scrapes in the bottom of the keel and epoxied them (will finish monday), however we did discover a small crack on the bowthruster tunnel/hull join that could require repair (how serious we don't know).

I have added some embryonic boat project pages for the NMEA2000 conversion and the cushion covers. I hope to add more content in the next weeks.
