It’s not long before the framework and a tent is erected over Moonfleet, and the long haul of preparing the hull and decks for a complete paint job starts. There are many good painters here at Boat Lagoon, but after a lot of deliberation we have chosen Mr Oh of Oh Services, to do the paintwork because he is recommended for aluminium boats. It’s not long before we appreciate the thoroughness of his workers.
