It's been a week since Greg has been on. I wonder if he's had the surveyor round and still suffering the shock
Haaa no. But I did buy some Ice-cream that is in the freezer waiting for the AFTER survey headache

Perhaps he has realised that it would be better to buckle down and do some useful work than to 'sit' here and chin-wag.
Just a small update.
We’ve been busy with testing and trying a new outboard in Wales. Saw a lot of puffins, some Dolphins and quite a few seals.
I’m afraid the Admiral Wife decreed a week of peace and quiet in the beautiful coastline of Wales.
On a positive note I also had a double flat and a broken spring that cost me £300 of repairs, just by driving in the beautiful roads that lead to Skomer island. Expensive Puffins..
If all goes well we will be moving tomorrow after the Welsh expedition interlude.
PS. I did see a Mermaid, and it turned out to be my wife.
Surprised you didn't knock a new tyre and spring up from some stuff in the hedgerow
Nearly 2 months in and still not even got the hull moved, not looking good for the end of season launch
It cannot, It will be industrial heaters for construction. 360V
Sure about the volts? 360?
Yeah, it's the same used for contrutction in minus temps. 360 V Industrial heating.
Industrial supply used to be 415V. Slightly less now after they downgraded 240V to 230V. Can the marina give you that?
Yes but a bit too far for my leads, but the local shipwright has agreed to let us uses his. As it happens the boat is going to sit close to him only about 30m or so from his place. The marina does have Three-Phase but really far. Sadly
I have lost track of how you plan to dry out the hull so forgive the question, are you going to vacuum it as well as heat it? The reason I ask is that if you are just planing tho heat it in an attempt to drive the water out it is unlikely to work. to dry what is essentially a porous body you need to have a mechanism for the water to migrate from within that body to the surface and then evaporate ie the water is "wicked" out, that mechanism is capillary attraction and osmotic pressure, which relies on a continuous presence of water between the inner body and the surface. If you break that by simply drying the surface skin then the mechanism breaks down and the process stops.
My worry is exactly that bulkhead, It is rotten on the base as the stringer under it. It’s mostly where I’m about to do the strengthening so it can finally be moved. If all goes well tomorrow. I’d love to see some pics of yours.
So...did she move, and did she stay in one piece?
Questions, questions. Anybody there?
To resurrect the thread and nudge Gregg who might be in a hospital cardio ward having had his surveyors report. I have a nagging interest to see how the project is doing or not. He might be interested in looking at this video as well.
Stringer? That is grp. Do you mean floor? )Not being pedantic).
The absence of a reply might mean he's busy working on it.
Now if this was the day job we'd demand he downed tools and came to a progress meeting.
