Well Im starting to get into some detail now. I always like seeing this stage of any restoration, the rewards! Ive posted a few images of the rigging which is now complete. I plan to paint the superstructure next week weather permitting and we will sand all the hand rails back. I found myself a brand new Pram Dinghy on Ebay for £500 which will sit on the aft coachroof. Im still looking to lift her out at Bells Marina just after Easter, and I guess a few more weeks after this she will be almost complete..... cant believe my luck with probably one of the mildest winters on record!

 |
| I got my Broads Number... but I will go for much smaller numerals in white and mount them on Teak plaques... cut down from the old name boards |
