Spring 2011 Preparation for Launch


6 May 2011, French Bay, Clayton, NY

Arrived in Clayton for boat preparation with my friend Bill Lewis. We uncovered the boat to find her in rather rough shape. The back of the keel had split and required some repair. West system epoxy and some clamps worked well for the keel repair. Bill did the exterior prep and paint work with excellent results. I did some major interior cleaning and some interior woodwork. This is the worse winter cleanup required ever. I completed the floor work in the salon and the back cabin. Next will be some aft and v-berth reconfiguration for improvements in the bunks.
