Noel painting Aiki's Eyes.
|
|
|
|
|
Asian boats all have eyes to help them avoid underwater hazards. We figured Aiki needed some.
|
|
|
|
|
Noel outdid himself! What a shame that only the fish can see them!
|
|

Melissa looks over the B crews work on the rudder. Much straighter, and even
hydrodynamic! Used the foil sections from Bruce King (Thanks Bruce!).

Removal of the interior furniture in the main salon to get better access for retabbing the ring frames and the bulkheads
|
|
|
|
|
Removing the ceilings (The wood on the hull) meant removing a lot of bungs! #$%^&^&^
|
|

|
BOB the GREAT! Shows up and welds all the ring frames! Most of them were cracked because the original welds were 1/16th of an inch penetration or less. Now we have 80% penetration and sisters on each!
|
|
|
|
|
That is a lot stronger ring frame!
|
|
|
|
|
Guy is much happier now that things are starting to go back together!
|
|

Guy removes the rest of the old tabbing by grinding it out for 5 days, and then M and Guy retabb all the ring frames and the bulkheads.
