Bowsprits and varnish

Work in exotic places
The main 2 jobs to tackle were internal tidy up and redesigning the bowsprit platform.

The bowsprit was my headache, as I did not want the original design.

I  made a new Stainless platform and used a GRP grating as a platform. However, the new (2006) Douglas Fir bowsprit is just lovely, and I couldn't bring myself just to cover her with paint. TOG readers have the same opinions.


Something looks amiss 

Thanks Mathew for your welding and workshop
 Pre assembly of platform and modified rollers

What a beautiful piece of timber  - well worth the efforts 

10 off holes needed cleaning and plugging
 - west system epoxy and some Tassie  oak
