Saturday Working Party - May 06, 2006

In front of the camera for a change, I'm caught in the act of clearing the remains of the mussels removed from the hull.  These have started to make their presence known by the smell which prompted a bit of a clean up!

Member Mike Williams takes laser measurements of the hull profile in order to produce a new computer generated hull and 'docking' plan. Mike is also in the process of producing a detailed 3D CAD Model of the vessel using his professional skills as an Industrial Designer. John Pickering lends a hand too. Another shot of Mike and the apparatus used to take the measurements John Deakin repairing one of the air tools used in cleaning the internal steelwork

George Pennington in the 'galley' busily preparing a 'hearty breakfast' for 'the troops'

John Hake busily attacking the concrete in the bilge area of the lower saloon, a hot, noisy and despite appearances very dusty job. The protective clothing is a must.
     
Similarly attired Eddie Doig lends a hand, again under the lower saloon
