painting our boat,etc.

Post by svZulia »

Hi,

We are currently in Deltaville, Virginia, on the western side of the Chesapeake. Cruising in the Bahamas last spring our forestay sheared off at the top of the mast while sailing.
This led us to return to this boatyard, where we had stored the boat after buying her 2 years ago. Taking off the mast and original rigging persuaded us to give her the promised paint job ahead of schedule.
The boatyard is extremely accommodating and is letting us do as much of the work ourselves as we wish to. They will do whatever we can't. Add that to very reasonable prices and we feel fortunate to be here. In the case of painting (her first paint job) we have done all the sanding and filling required. After being shown how to fill in one area with fiberglass, we have done the rest. The yard has done all the spray painting. We are currently waiting for the topcoat.
Then we will approach the rigging, replace the head, fiddle with the leg, and try and figure out where all the extra pieces are supposed to go!

If you would like to check us out we are in Schroeder's Yacht Systems boat yard, Deltaville, almost at the end of Highway 33. We live on board so you should find us here.

We have a blog written with non-sailing family in mind, at sailourboat.blogspot.com

cheers,
Liz and Chris
