What are the markings for when towing?

She should be in good hands with Nick. He rebuilt a yacht recently that my boss then helped crew across the Atlantic. I've seen the pictures of that yacht and it was stunning!

According to the video it's all about ensuring she isn't listing and or taking on water etc. Plimsoll line type job.

Having just completed a 2 year refit of a 50ft steel yacht I wish you all the luck in the world. Certainly not one for the faint hearted!

another interesting turn of events- Wonder if google analytics showed a strangely high amount of traffic from PH to the ships website? biggrin

As a Chatham local I'll keep an eye out for new arrivals!
Was thinking the same, several places in Chatham as possibles,

Hence my other post to LlysHelig above. I’m about half an hour away (ME19) but would def pop over if I’m able to see it arrive.

I am ME5 so with Lufbramatt sound like there could be a few of us.

I'm also ME5... my son is absolutely mad on ships at the moment (just built a huge "lego" Titanic model) so would be good to have a little trip down to the river with him.

Sadly I dont have any better pics of the finished article. It came in for a new interior and a paint job. I found a nasty scab of rust under a bulkhead, that turned into a full sandblast, full ultrasound of the hull. This lead to it being touch and go about weather it would be more cost effective to repair bit by bit of have a company from Holland 3D scan below the waterline and manufacture a mm perfect replica of the original hull and weld it on as a complete new peice! Eventually it was repaired but by bit. Mayne 30% of the metal below the waterline was replaced. One scab!

BOAT stands for Bring Out Another Thousand!
That looks like it will be a nice boat when finished Rover.

they've delayed the move to Chatham until the spring- turns out there are some structural bits of the hull either missing or damaged and they think it will be too dangerous to move her as-is. So they're going to spend the winter making her stronger and reinforcing the hull in Burnham. Sounds sensible.

I am sure it would be find, but equally, cannot fault them for being cautious about it.

Got chatting to the bloke who has supplied us with some plaster mouldings for the living room.

He was talking about a yacht he did work on, recording plaster mouldings before a refit, which he thought was owned by 'Mr JCB' (actually his son fat-tony) which apparently ended up in Romanian and was hunted down by someone keen who got in on a student visa before being repatriated back to the UK with working starting in Cammel Lairds before moving elsewhere.

Armed with only that information, I found it, and had a good bit of a ready up.

I read on Twitrer that Llys Helig is staying put for a while longer before heading off to dry dock.

Video announcement on Facebook.

In summary, as the weather has broke for winter they have decided to wait for spring. In the meantime they are going to replace missing deck beams to the aft and put Inna temporary deck for winter and the crossing, and do some above waterline hull repairs.

Seems a sensible approach.
