A shot across my foredeck

[Seagreen]

The closest I get to a pretty picture in this weather

 

[Carlotta]

Is that Pegasus in front of you? What happened to her bulwarks?

Perhaps Morwenna damaged after dismasting?

Great to see that Carlotta is sailing again!

Sorry wrong info,on closer inspection clearly not Morwenna.

 

[Seagreen]

Yes, Pegasus. Don't know what happened, but she's having a section of bulwark replaced, which suggests rot rather than scarphing in a bit for damage, depending on the damage I suppose.

But mentioning Morwenna, who made her mast?

I believe, but do not quote me, it was Noble Masts

Now look here Seagreen, you know I am never one to criticise, but,.......brightwork out in the frost, sails on, no winter cover tut tut tut.....making future work for youself tut tut tut.

Does anyone know the low-down on Morwenna being rescued twice???!?!?

 

[Seagreen]

Brightwork? If its exposed, it'll be stripped and revarnished in the next couple of months. The rails need a right going over - had enough of Varnol so I'm sticking with Int. Org.

The coachroof and cockpit have a stormproof (survived 65+ kts gusts, no effect) white topgun cover. Foredeck's getting one this year. Sails on? Hmm. Layup bodged due to nasty gales/tides and a trip to disneyland. I'm making new covers anyway. All starts when the snow goes and i can get on the pontoon without slipping into the river.

Morwenna rescued twice? That's getting superstitious..

Look, only pulling your baggywrinkle ;-)
Not falling in this time of year......good idea!

Re Morwenna.........

It says 'rescued second time in a fortnight.....'

They also suffered a broken bowsprit on their first sail from Bristol enroute to Padstow for Mayday last year.
Something seriously wrong with the spar design, rigging or manufacture it appears.

I think she was damaged whilst in the Exe.

Possibly 'learner driver' error? ;-)
