Well in a few hours we will have been in dry dock two weeks. A lot has happened but nothing is really finished. The blue stripe is on but will need some touch up once the rub rail repair goes in. The bobstay fitting and Cranse Iron are fitted but not connected. The exhaust riser is back but not installed. A lot of the white is on but the transom is not, and all that is on will need a light sand and at least one more coat. The first coat of bottom paint went on. However it will need another then we need to move the jack stands and get the areas that are under them. We cut the broken scarf out of the rub rail and realized it will require more tools or skill than we have. We think we have sourced a carpenter but he is rather busy. He thinks he will have time before Thursday. Which would be great as we could just feasibly make a launch date on Friday. If he can’t we will probably be here another week as he is traveling after Thursday. The forestay is still waiting for the custom toggle to arrive from the East Coast. That can be installed in the water. So all in all we are making progress and hopefully this week we will finish. BUT!!!!!
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.
