A1772022Work continues slowly on completing restoration work.Hoping that she’ll see the water in 2023.   The boat is fine and is under a good cover. Deck de-lamination all sorted.  Has water ingress on the windows but this too is being sorted.  Has repaired the plywood transom (plywood as a result of the twin rudder mods carried out some time ago).  One keel sticking and has resulted in pivot holes being elongated (?).
