Smoggy Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 So who will be the first (of many) this summer to look at BA and utter those immortal words "you missed a bit" then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewcook Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hi Smoggy don't forget the Admiral will be there to inspect the work and any missed rub down or varnish that will be a flogging? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 After three years in the wet stuff I’m quite pleased. However she has to endure the jetwash Griff 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 The wet shed must help. Less light and oxygen in the water keeps fouling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargeandParge Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Wow you must be pleased with that lift. Keel support and no pinching the topsides. She looks good under there. Let's hope she can be re launched without any issues . A bollocking for you now Griff Old Parge never slept sometimes in 48hours but I am suffering now. Get your head on the pillow and stop working all night the outcome will be more achieved. Kindest regards Marge and Parge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yesterday we commenced work from 1200 - 1800. Then ashore for provisions and scran. I was in bed for 2100 and slept through to 0700 I had been on the go for 39 Hrs Feeling fine this morning I have completed the hull survey and well relieved so far. Still to do the internal survey especially the aft ribs that’s this mornings task. Howard is on with removing the toe rails and rubbing strips Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Now Broad Ambition is now in the Dry Shed with work at hand to be done but let's hope in that time scale they have got all this Items on Griffs list to be completed in that time and back to happy days of cruising until Three Years time for that TLC time or longer once again.

grendel Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Having nothing better to be doing and a full tank of fuel I decided to volunteer a day and a half of effort, so headed up Saturday afternoon, yesterday we all got stuck in and all the rubbing rails and toe rails were removed, then it was on to the hard graft of sanding the hull. By tea time I was covered in white dust and looking like a ghost. Then it was time to get changed into clean clothes and head to weatherspoons for food. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell Mr.G you're a glutten for self inflicted punishment, weatherspoons! There must be a proper pub somewhere. P.S. Where do I apply for the advisory commitee? I like the sound of that job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 breakfast at morrisons- not bad, roughly £4 a head, then down to work, becoming the grey ghost once again as sanding proceeded rough sanding done both sides, detailed sanding finished one side, feathering in the edges of the paint where the rubbing strakes had been. 1pm, departed for home, had a good run to kent arrived home 4pm, and asda had diesel so filled up again 333 miles, 32.85 litres, not much change out of £60. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 i did have a whoops moment removing the transom rubbing strip, when i found that the transom was coming off with the strip, however this turned out to be beneficial as rot was found in that plank of the transom, so it had to come out anyway. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
