Having now cleaned Shikara I have found some paint damage following her rise and fall during the watery time. This means my collection of works are now:
- Keel repair (don't know how much but the surveyor said "next time she is out")
- clean/antifoul
- paint (don't know if it is a touch up or a full job, but I know the paint damage is below gunnell and also just below the water line)
- I MIGHT have grounded her and I think the prop needs attention, though no crawl and excessive vibration at the moment
I need to plan for winter... So I am tempted to have her lifted and pay a pro to do all the above properly. I have seen another Freeman 24 above Bell Weir who has clearly had some real TLC and it is a glory I could not achieve.
I have been considering the boat house above Bell Weir... does anyone have any suggestions, please?
