About Me

My photo
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
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.

Progress report

 The blister holes seem dry.  They have been building them back and all are ready for fairing.  Some have already been faired.  The new exhaust thru hull was fitted today though it still needs its final mounting. 

While this has been going on we have been scraping and sanding the aft taffrail.  We started to think if we hurried we could get our three and a half coats on before they needed to tape up again for priming and painting.  Well today (Saturday) we made it.  The first coat of varnish went on.  They are supposedly going to begin taping up and prepping the hull on Tuesday so if we keep busy we will be happy. 

Pauline has to leave on Wednesday to go up to Sitka for a wedding.  She needs to spend the night in San Diego as it is an early flight.  So Mark is going to tag along and we will meet up with Bill and Titus for a beer.

He  will hit West Marine on Thursday and then head back to Ensenada. 

The big news is we now have a tentative launch date of Sept 18.  It also looks like we will make that.  So after 99 days Sari Timur should be floating again!


Sanded and Ready
