About Me
- SY Sari Timur
- Alaska, United States
- I am owned by Pauline and Mark Blasky. My hull was built at the Duncan Marine Yard in Taiwan and launched in Dec of 1980. It is a William Garden design based on the Pixie Design and called by Duncan Marine a Freedom 45. They are the fourth owners and have owned me the longest. They have done extensive refitting to me including replacing my entire deck structure and rig. My masts are roughly 10% taller than original and now are made of aluminium as opposed to the original wood ones, which, though pretty, were always problematic.

The Repair Yard
We are in Pinoy Boat Services. We were going to just get the head repainted and a cabinet repaired. We found what could have been a potentially disastrous problem. The cross brace that holds the mizzen compression post had some rot in it. When we put the mizzen back on 3 years ago we must have punched through the fiberglass coating on it as the mizzen had sunk nearly one inch into the brace (and we have not tightened any turnbuckles that much since installing it). So we rebuilt one here and a few other small jobs done at the same time. Head, cabinet, and mizzen all look good. Need to get the bill now as we wish to leave Friday and go down to the big city for a week or so. Watching a possible typhoon coming from Palau area. But other than that we are ready to go and play again.

ReplyDeleteI assume you are going to post pictures for us visually impaired people that cannot see half-way around the world and onto your boat.
It was hard to get the stuff on pics. But here are a few.
