    Default Kiwi - 1928 Lane Motor Boat Winter Haul Out

    The old girl RainDance was starting to look a little tired around the edges & lipstick was not going to fix her this year so I hauled her out 3 months ago at my club, the Devonport Yacht Club, one of the oldest & the best little club in NZ. Also DYC is 3 minutes from home so that makes things easy.

    The link below to the CYA NZ forum will take you on the journey, its a little drawn out in places & drifts off topic at times but I'm sure some of you will find it interesting. There are a few repairs that did not make it to the posting, always conscious that a potential buyer might be viewing the post at some stage in the future

    Nice varnishing job there, Alan!
    When you're finished, I'm making new spreaders for "Sirena's" signal mast that'll need varnishing ............................

    Good to see you looking after the old girl Alan!
