thats what the calibration tool is for ..... Howdoo! Nothing much to report at the mo. I have masked the rubbing strake and hull/deck joint, removed the strake and primed both with Sika primer before sealing and screwing it back on. I am hoping to get down tomorrow to clean up, re-mask and put a nice neat bead along the top and bottom. Then fitting the blue insert to cover the screws.
I'll post some pics when it's done Mostly now I am just removing and sealing everything that has been dry fit already.
Cheers,
Mick

Well Folks, this has stalled big time! Regrettably I have to let her go 
I have a new job as engineer, on a new build 42 meter motor yacht in Italy, so I am travelling back and forth between there and home.
Realistically, I am not going to have time for this project for the foreseeable future, and I don't want to see her deteriorate.
So, it's time to pass her on to someone who will continue.
So, if anyone here is interested, or may know someone who might be, drop me a line. I'm open to reasonable offers.
This has literally cost me thousands, in the teens, as I had no intention of letting her go.
I know I'll take a big loss. C'est la Vie!
There's a brand new Nanni 14hp, twin cylinder diesel with transmission, wiring loom, and control panel. Loads of brand new Harken T track, a new Harken traveller and car for the mainsheet, loads of old sails, probably buggered, but they'd get you going,and whatever else I can dig up.
She's on the hard in the North of Mallorca, and the hard standing is paid up until the end of March.

Noooooooo!
Is there any chance of keeping her and finishing this wonderful work in slow time? I know there's nothing more frustrating than a project you haven't got time to finish, but the work you've put in here is simply superb.
If you do sell it, I hope who ever takes it on has the skills and will to finish this off correctly. It'd be a crime to bodge it now!
