I am feeling rather more confident now. Things are moving forward at pace. I just hope I can keep up with all the ancillary stuff.
But I do now have a skeleton plan.
Complete hull....last few rib repairs; tighten planks; fill unrequired through hulls; drill new through hulls;
caulk and paint...
Install engine
Fit basic electrics:- Engine, bilge pumps, charger
Launch June 2024
Monitor for leaks while fitting out interior
Fit sun protection
Fly back to UK in August for six weeks... stress and pray
During September
Step mast and rig
Continue refit and learn to sail her
March 2025, leave St Lucia and sail to Antigua for Classics
What can possibly go wrong
