After a long delay I went over to the Island today (despite the storm) to visit Rebel Runner at the fabrication shop, and do a bit of work on her. Things are coming along slowly but very surely, I am pleased with everything so far except how long its taking. First up here are the front rails being made by Dougal.
The cockpit rails are already finished and waiting to go on. There are also new roof rails and a grab rail round the galley, and a pair of rails on the transom because by law there must be a means of getting back on board if you fall in, apparently.
The two seat boxes which will eventually have a raised area between and a table (for rig making) between
The bowsprit anchor roller is on but the deck needs a strengthening pad under. It will look great once the rails are on.
The second wiper motor is fitted but in the meantime one of the important dome nuts has gone walkies. Very annoying.
Finally, the old dash is out and the new one in, with units dry fitted. I'm very pleased with this Garry! I bet you are too
Metalwork should be complete and bolted up by Thursday, and the boat goes back to Cowes where I can work under cover again. More soon I hope
