Sorry couldn't resist~!

Well the mast is back in and looking great if i do say so myself. I'm very very pleased to get the stick out of the yard, so all the gear is back on the boat, which i'm relieved about. All went without a hitch apart from the backstay being a wee bit short. Sorted with a machined stainless fitting, and all looks super strong now!

I'll probably put the boom back on this side of xmas but not anything else. i've gotta concentrate on getting the heating install finished hopefully before xmas but am rapidly running outta time!

Next up is the chimney install including cuttng the deck head! eek!

I've pretty much finished the woodwork and tiling around the heater, and have installed the fireboard. I've got to get the slate base cut to size and installed then we are really ready to plumb in the heating for both fuel and heat circulation to my little cast iron radiator in the aft cabin. Perhaps I might just get it finished the weekend before xmas which would be great!

cheers for now. I'll put loadsa photos in the gallery.
skip.
