Progress to date

12 April 2011 | Auckland
January was our 4 Year mark and I must say all the hard work is still enjoyable. We are hopefully only looking at another 10 - 12 months before the first launching of SV Zealiana.

Progress since our last update:

Forward Cabin is mostly complete - only final edgings, hatch surround and doors to be fitted.

Forward Deck and Anchor Well - this is glassed and ready for fairing.

Rudder has been extended and re profiled.

Summer has been so hot that it has been virtually impossible to do glassing work outside during the day - so to keep on schedule we have moved the boat into a building were we can work without having to consider what the weather is doing. Transportation date was the 31st March. To facilitate entry into the building we needed to meet a height restriction of 4.6m max. so it was necessary to cut the dodger off prior to the move date.

This was not a big concern as we had decided originally that we would replace the dodger with one more practical and more pleasing to the eye. Due to the height restriction it will however need to be detachable so we can get the boat back through the door.
