The boat will be finished in a couple of months.
Sorry to say after all my time on ybw and the effort I've put in, that there will not be any further from me.
The nav lights are restored.
New windscreens are here! They fit, maybe a tiny bit of trimming needed.
Painted out a locker and made a floor to go in it. Thats the last new bit of timber to make. Maybe. Until I find a bit more.
My wife has finished undercoating in the cabin and started on locker lids. She's amazing.
Exciting news, all my windows and moulded screens are ready to collect, I'm going Monday.
Looks a bear.
I took a set out of a Huntsman, 8" long, 5/16ths, I made a hole saw from tube, then installed 10mm.
Good advice abounds, I think once you work it out the others will be easy peasy.
Good progress today. Lots of undercoat on in the cabin and a few locker lids prepared for paint.
Engine loaded into trailer to come home for a spruce up.
Found an orphan bolt, with a crimp terminal, covered in paint. Why would you do that? I'll knock them oot and glue plugs in.
A chum popped...
Based on my experience of sticky letters on other boats and the use of pre spacing tape to fit logos (I've done a lot in the past looking after and commissioning charter fleets) I think I'll get a better job sign writing myself.
Even if its not perfect and uniform as sticky letters would be...
I dunno.
There's at least one bridge that doesnt look like it opens or has air draft for a girt big ship and neither does the river look wide enough to me.

Is that right? Ouse looks like little more than a muddy stream at Selby?
