Member
John Hake uses his electrical skills to check out a diesel generator which was
kindly donated to us by member Billy Thompson (JPS Scaffolding). We now have
240 volts on board for certain tasks |
John
Broomby (left) and Gordon Owen although joiners by trade, are “un-joining”
the port main deck. This wooden deck cladding was rotten and a tripping hazard
and had to be removed. Before this could be done, detailed plans were drawn,
measurements taken and the whole deck photographed.

Members
Eddie Doig and Colin Leonard have been working hard on the fore peak
locker.
Over the
last few weeks they have chipped, wire brushed and given it several coats of
paint. As the picture now shows, it looks better than ever.

New
member Steve Lawrinson volunteers for the dirties job aboard- the engine room
bilges |
Nigel
Farrell and Dave Broomby re-fasten the watertight glands on the port prop
shaft after it was opened for inspection. All glands and joints are being
inspected to ensure the shafts turn freely to allow us to hand turn the
engines on a regular basis to prevent them seizing. |
