The refit goes on…

May 25, 2015 By Chari & Ellery

Ellery has been hard at work doing more varnishing and electrical. He has also secured the cockpit tub in place and installed the cockpit drains. The instrument panel is in place in the cockpit tub and all hooked up. We also received our cook stove from Trotac and it is just sitting in place for now. It sure makes me excited to do some yummy cooking on our boat! With the help of Ellery’s father and his truck, we purchased the wood to make the cap rails. Ellery decided on Purple Heart because it is a very hard wood and less expensive than Teak. I think it’ll look great when it’s varnished! Last but not least, Ellery took the ferry over to Point Roberts this weekend to pick up our shipment from Bud at Westsail Parts. It is all coming together and we hope to launch her this summer!
