Recent maintenance and ongoing maintenance

Removed from water in late April 2024 and went back in with fresh antifouling and new anodes May 2024. Engines serviced  May 2024

The main and flybridge decks are fully teak laid with the decks is in decent condition, but annual maintenance may require an occasional re-paying of any loosened caulk lines, e.g. the recent Winter has seen the current owner re-pay ~ 1m of caulking lines, plus the lazarette hatch covers have been fully serviced as these do suffer a higher wear level. The current owner has also routinely sealed the deck against frost and wear with a periodic coat of teak deck sealant. Some decking screws have been replaced and repluged .

Folding down mast for ease of low bridge passage.
