1992 Custom Aluminium Ketch for Survey today in Karlovasi Shipyard on Samos Island.
This beautiful Ketch was built in 1992 to old plans at the German shipyard Kühnemund,Schacht- Audorf in Schleswig-Holstein. She is a replica of a schooner that was used in Newfoundland in the 18th century to hunt alcohol smugglers!

| Hull was 5mm alloy plate with paint coatings also recorded. Apparently the plating was used from an old aeroplane. |

Another rope caught up in this cutless bearing. The rudder will have to be removed to draw the shaft. Though durable, these bearings will need to be replaced to avoid vibrations or, worse, shaft, log, or strut damage due to overheating.
