The World Turned Upside Down

(first published 18th May 2005)

Yes, after about 45 minutes of thinking how to do it, Lugg is now upside down on his trailer. This is because all that's left to do on the inside is to finish everything with the oak trim, and I don't want to do that while I'm still slopping about with paint and resins.

I lifted one end of the boat (about as much as I can manage these days!), and Linda very kindly manoeuvred the trailer underneath it. It's resting on a wood strongback which I lashed across the two side hull supports on the trailer.

Given good weather I'll be getting on with fixing the dings in the outside of the hull now. Then oak keel strip and bilge strips; then paint, lovely green paint..
