Jaguar 22. Nearly ready for the season.

Getting there!

Spent the last couple of days in between the rain showers polishing the hull and repairing a few minor holes in the gel coat. Also managed to get the antifouling painted on, and paint half the trailer. Bit of a bugger of a job this. Whilst under the boat I also had a look inside the keel casing. Didn't know what to expect but was still surprised when it only went into the hull about 2-3 inches.
The trailer should be solid now as the two braked indespension units have been replaced. The trailer is currently being painted black (to hide some of my welding) which is structually fine but not the neatest.
Just finishing off the backing plate for the log and depth sounder and then onto rigging the mast prior to dropping it for the journey.
Next week off to Rutland Water for a test sail. About bloody time!
