Interior Preparation

This week we jet washed the interior and decks to remove loose flaking paint and deck grip. The worst of the interior surface coat was washed off and will be swept up when dry. Most of the work involved baling out the water accumulated in the process. Care was taken to ensure no blockages to drains or bilges from the copious amounts of flaked paint removed. The top decks were in pretty good condition so were cleaned rather than surface removed. The PPE (personal protective equipment) required for this job was wetsuit and boots!

J24 Project at Mylor Sailability

Work starts renovating J24 (soon to be re-named) 'Jackaroo': The project plan is good to go and we are ready to begin renovations and adaptions to make her fit for Sailability use. Repairs will be made to the hull and after a winter of care and attention she will be joining J24 'Joker' on the water for 2016.

Today we established a safe access to the deck, reviewed the list of jobs to do and began by checking and cleaning the mast. After a few applications of bike 'Muck Off' and liberal application of the pressure washer it has regained that gleaming aluminum look once again. Hopefully the rest of 'Jackaroo' will look as good.
