About Me

My photo
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.

Dry Dock Week 3 Splash Day

Well it has been exactly three weeks and we are going in the water today.  After last week’s post things started happening.  The carpenter got after the scarf and did a beautiful job.  All the painting is done except the places where it is sitting on blocks.  That can’t be done until they lift us in the slings.  The forestay is laid out just waiting on the top toggle and should be here in the next couple of days.  Basically we have everything we set out to do, done.  The exhaust went in easier than expected.  We still have to wrap it but need to verify no leaks when we get in the water, before we can do that.  There is sanding and varnishing to do but that was never going to be done here anyway.

Mark is leaving to work for about two weeks which will help recoup some of the expenses from this dry dock.  All in all things have come together nicely.
