UP SHE RISES


How many on here get that nervous twitch when they see their pride and joy leaving leaving her natural habitat? I know I do!!

After a quick wash to remove two years of not a lot,

She is safely on the chocks and we can get stuck in, we only did the top sides today, compound and polish

The props were removed to be “tuned” at Clements Marine, but apart from that no other fixing to be done. Stay tuned for the second episode.

Looks good!!

What a great looking boat. I really like that style. You are right about getting nervous about her being craned out - I am the same - you always have a nagging doubt in your mind "what if......!!

What AF did you use - not bad for two years in (assume without a scrub?).

Looking good John. The antifoul is looking well. Is your mooring brackish ? If so, do you think that has helped ?

Never tasted it Paul, too close to Bradwell Power Station. I reckon it's because she does not stand still for long.

Lol, funny you should say that John, that was going to be my next comment. You'd need some damn fast barnacles to get on her hull

An interesting hull shape Omega. She strongly resembles the early Choey Lee semi-D's, from the gunwhale down.
I spent time on a 45' version with a couple of 300 Volvos (re-power), the head sea ride was sensational.

The Aquabell has been going since the early 70's, ours was built in 1986, "Proper boats"
