The Cornish Puffin
Discussion
Will do Phud.
For the record I personally had nothing to do with the paint work - turns out the best way to train apprentices up to the standard of a $60m yacht, is to let them lose on a donor vessel
Full Awl Grip system too. There may be a small amount of teak strake being added as well.
Cant wait to put her back together and this was also a great opportunity to stop the leaky stern tube too.
Looking forward to a smart, dry boat - who would have thought.

Just sat and read through this thread - and what a lovely thread it is. A nice record of the work done and times enjoyed with your family.
I know the square root of damn all about boats which I shall now prove by saying that the lovely new colour scheme reminds me of one of QE2s Cunard schemes.

Thank you, one of the reasons I created this thread was to remind myself! Also that boating can be on a serious budget (forgetting the paint part),I know the square root of damn all about boats which I shall now prove by saying that the lovely new colour scheme reminds me of one of QE2s Cunard schemes.
Her current colour is Awlgrip Flag Blue and Off White - I'm not sure about Cunard ships but that is a very popular combo on a lot of Superyachts.
My friends in the salt and pepper pot house on the other side had a great photo of it blowing 45kts from the North, the sea was whipped up and the sky was very moody, i could make out Wayward but it wasn't great res.
Yep very lucky, although I have just given up my job of 11 years in the Shipyard which had a view straight across the water to St Mawes Castle! I still walk the dogs on the beach every day however, so not all bad.

Well I am hoping that no phone calls from anyone means she is still on the mooring.
The shipyard seems to be doing better than A&P, it's good for the town, we just need a habour group who understand the water not making money.
Will be fun to see how St Mawes develops in the next few years, cost of coffee over that side is same as that London place.

Not the Puffin, but wanted to share this pic I took coming back up the Penryn river just before 5 this evening. Chilly but beautifully serene, so much so I dropped the revs and near enough idled back and it was dark when we hauled her out Was in our latest Duchy 21 and I must say I'm loving my new job!
