Spent the weekend at Pin Mill...

[Boogaloo]

Out of the water unfortunately, but all for a good cause.

Have spent the whole weekend cleaning and painting the boat, it now is anti-fouled. Awful stuff that is, the worst job, but the end result is kind of worth it.

Instead of ramming loads of pics down your throats I have been writing a blog, if anyone can tell me how to add a signature that would be fab. I did find the section but not how to do it.

Anyways heres a link to the blog. lots of pics on there.

Well done mate. I reckon I get as much fun out of working on mine as I do sailing her!

Well done on a great start , keep up the hard work and you'll have a boat to be proud of , I know all about turning a neglected old tub into something half respectable ...

Thanks peeps. The end result does make it worth while. I do still need to paint the roof as well, but it is all masked up ready to be done, the varnish or replace the wood bits as needed. The boat yard are going to put my mast up this week as well.
I cant believe how many boats are in that yard just molding away.... its kind of sad.

Also noticed they should make nail varnish out of anti-foul paint.... it works a treat.

Nice looking boat and you're doing her proud, nice one
For the signature you'll need to go in your control panel and select edit signature on the left, you should see a white text area where you add your link, if it's grey instead of white look out for a question box from your browser asking if you're happy to proceed. It's safe so just click yes, once done, don't forget to click save or it, erm, won't

Well done. Good progress. I once had a summer holiday in a boatyard with my wife working on the boat. It was surprising good fun!

Not long before you can sail her!

Thanks everyone, I am also going to do the interior, but at the moment it is in a good state, so just keen to get her floating and moving, shes painted with a name now (update on blog), and it looks fab.
About a week ish time Boogaloo should be sailing, and I cant wait!
