Here is Lady Ash in the water all naked with no sails or dodgers. Another step nearer to the sailing for this year. I sanded and varnished the woodwork (hate that bit) and put pins in all the stantions. I re taped the shroud tensioners, sealed the bilge outlet (it leaked when long periods were spent on a port tack. I also fitted a system to remote the reefing lines.
I also noticed I had lost the wind speed indicator. So another few weeks and she will be ready to go, next year I will start a little earlier.
