Month: February 2021

A process in two operations, first being moved round to the front of the yard on friday, and second the actual launch on monday.

PG tips hardly leaked at all, just a few seeps here and there all took up in a week. She is now laid up afloat waiting for the spring, lifting of lockdown restrictions, and her new rig.

It was an intense and busy moment of pride, humility, relief, happiness and sadness at it being over, it was a brilliant project that I’m very proud of. So I’m going to let the pictures speak for me instead.

Finally, Finally. It was time to lose the tent and begin preparations for Plants to get in the water where she belongs.

Around this point there was still a ton of things being worked on and finished off but clever old me was so busy running around I completely failed to document the incredible work that everyone put in to painting the deck, finishing the cockpit, my work to make oak ‘nogs’ (sort of widely spaced sampson posts fore and aft that are particular to Morecambe Bay Prawners), etc. So instead, here’s the whole thing on the day we took her into the elements.
