After an incredibly bad run with weather, to hot, to wet, to windy to ... we are nearing completion of the maintenance effort. The boat has been totally transformed. Every fitting has come off been maintained and reinstalled, the decks have been painted all the timber has been strippd back to bare and varnished. The hull has been stripped to bare metal, primed and painted, propspeed on the propeller and shaft. New anodes, additional anodes added to the keel and hull, new wind depth speed log instruments. Removed the gas storage tanks and make good in the cockpit. Replaced all thru fittings new radio in the nav area, new flooring in the main saloon. The list is almost endless, anyway we near completion and should see Akuna back in the water for next week. It has been a long time coming but she looks and is a lot better now.
