Fantastic Support

Roger made great progress on the bow repairs on yet another super sunny day. An equally fab group of Pendennis apprentices joined us and set about numerous Sailability tasks. Jackaroo got a coat of posh teak preserver on the toe rail and was measured up for teak grab rails and a new set of steps down from the cockpit into the cabin. These will make moving about Jackaroo easier for our disabled sailors. We are incredibly grateful to all of the team at Pendennis Shipyard for their wonderful support.

Great Progress

With five enthusiastic and skilled Pendennis Shipyard apprentices helping, we got lots done: The hull has been polished, the antifoul applied and the deck painted in a smart new grey (with extra grip granules included). The bow repairs have also moved on brilliantly.

Hull Repairs

A run of dry days mean that the hull repairs can finally get underway. The bow will be built out from the inside to add strength.

Fire & Rescue Friends

Our Friends at Falmouth Fire Station invited us to their place today. 'Red Watch' presented a cheque to help us get even more people out on the water. It was nice to do something for Sailability wearing smarter clothes for once!

Not-Quite-Spring Clean

With winds gusting 50-70 mph we hunkered down inside Jackaroo to clean out the loose paint and soak up the incessant water. The wettest winter continues to make renovations a challenge. The above video does not quite do justice to the wind howling in the rigging.

 At this rate, Jackaroo will be ready d'reckly!
