A video tour of Auriga

Over the weekend, Richard took his junk-rigged Tammy Norie up the Orwell to Fox's marina. We had a chance to have a look around each other's yachts and exchange tips on equipment and maintenance. While Auriga was out of the water, Richard filmed a quick tour of the boat. Enjoy!

Sikaflex, sikaflex and some more sikaflex!

After the deck bolts, it's now time to clean and re-seal all the stanchion bases!

New Holes in the Hull

Another Saturday, another day of maintenance

 

This Saturday was another productive session. Among other things we made a new fibreglass conduit to protect wiring in the bow, removed the old aluminium forestay groove, cut off the seized wind turbine and protected some more of the woodwork with epoxy.

The big job, however was the new hole in the hull.

Giulia's response on being sent this picture: "What the hell is that?!"
