I have been busy with some motorsport and family commitments recently so there is little progress.

There was a trip to the Essex Boat Jumble where I picked up some useful bits including new lights for the cabins at half price.

Meet up with Nevil from the YBW forum who kindly gave me some Glass fiber chopped strand matting and polyester resin.

That will be most useful.

I have had a better look at the damage in the keel box and now understand what needs to be done.

The main damage is to the front of the box.

This is only 10mm away from the main bulkhead.

It is going to be difficult job.

Southampton Boat show this weekend.

Found that my C-Map chip has survived the sinking. Result.

Managed to get a good deal on a new Standard Horizon chart plotter and VHF.

Also met the chap who runs JG Tech.

His web site normally has the best prices anywhere.

Now talking to him about the rest of the electronics.
