Quick Update

This is just a quick update of where the Andalucia is on repairs. Things are finally looking up. The chain plates are installed and the inside of the boat looks as if nothing happened. As for the deck; the teak cap rails look great and Suzie the varnisher has done a great job making all the teak this boat has look great again. Look at the picture and you can see the results. The mast steps are here as well as the baskets (a plate underneath) and were being installed today. These the masts will set on. And more good news; the masts will arrive from LeFiell on Monday! The rigging will take about 10 days so the masts should be installed the week of the 23rd. It should take about two weeks more for the sails to be fitted, so we are now into the second week of April :-(

It looks as though our first trial sail will be to 4th of July Yacht Club on Catalina Island for Seal Beach Yacht Clubs annual Easter Cruise. Sounds a little like two years ago when the Easter cruise was a trial cruise for our rebuilt transmission. We hope all goes as well. More to come next week!
