-
A124 The gooseneck fitting. A stainless bolt, some plate and some stainless rod. Plus someone who can weld.
-
A124 The mast track was extended to just above the book by fitting an infill. This allows the sail to stow much more neatly.
-
A124 Simple turning block bolted to the boom end fitting.
-
A124 Reefing lines travel to the forward end of the boom and then return for cleating on the boom. Note the main halyard and topping lift led aft – everything can be done from the cockpit.
-
A124 Loose footed main! B-blocks were fitted each side of the boom rather than aluminium/nylon blocks. The webbing straps took a while to master.
-
A124 The new gooseneck fitting – just a bit of stainless plate welded to a bolt. Note that I had to grind off the top of the ‘end plate’ on the end fitting so that it didn’t saw the foot of the sail.
-
A124 The reefing handle was removed from the old boom in a way that it can be replaced if required. The boom fitting was then matched to a new gooseneck. This clear is for the outhaul.

A124 A124 2017 EC Race Helene 2
-
A124 A124 Helene gets a new electrics panel (2017)
-
A124 Some making good to be done! Someone used sikaflex to stick the hatches on. NOOOO! Its more of a glue than is required as can be seen from the missing layers from the plywood.
-
A124 Wood from the keelbox can be seen stuck in the sikaflex. Butyl Rubber is the way to go.
-
A124 Clamping plates are in reasonable condition beneath all the antifouling.
-
A124 The bolt was worn but not terminally so.
-
A124 The keelboxes aren’t too bad

A124 A124 Helene – A basic galley, but does include a teapot.

A124 A124 The finished blister inside
-
A124 Keel steelwork in good condition. Note the hex-nuts welded to the ends of the clamping fittings. This allows use of a ratchet spanned – very quick!

A124 All done.
-
A124 It looks really neat without any mess to clear up. And it is waterproof!

-
A124 Longer bolts were used around the frame to initially compress the tape so that the correct (short) bolts could be inserted.
-
A124 The bronze frames with the closed cell tape stuck on. So much cleaner than mastic.
-
A124 Fitting long bolts through the frames to compress the tape to allow the short machine screws to be fitted.

A124 2015 08 A124 Foredeck 11
-
A124 Starboard toe-rail replaced, Matterhorn White paint hardened, so time to apply the deck paint.
-
A124 2015 08 A124 Foredeck 10
-
A124 And finally the deckpaint
-
A124 Engine painted up, using Ferguson tractor grey as it was so much cheaper than the Yanmar paint!
-
A124 Old army cooking pan re-purposed as drip tray
-
A124 Cooked perspex, plug and old window.
-
A124 Perspex is heated in the over for the correct time (depends on grade of perspex) and then placed over the plug.
-
A124 The plugs were made out of plaster of paris. I used silk fabric between the plug and perspex to ease removal but this left a very fine ‘weave’ on some of the windows.
-
A124 The old window was used to create a plug in plaster of paris on a plywood base.

A124 Its coming….

A124 I used the Easy Fair only to remove the worst indentations / staple holes. I did not want to end up with large areas covered with filler, despite the flexibility of cured Easy Fair.
