8 Days

Christeen’s repairs continue to roll along as we approach the final week before her re-launch. All the caulking is going to be finished up today while the prep continues to take place for her new paint job. The blocks for the halyards are continuing to receive some needed TLC with additional coats of varnish, the new benches are coming together and the cap rail is receiving the final coat of red. The engine received a final tune-up before it gets lowered into the engine bay. All the final pieces are coming together and the Shipwrights plan to finish all the work by Thursday, giving them one buffer day to tie up the loose ends before she is splashed on Saturday morning. Considering the size and length of the project one buffer day is in relative terms like a second. However, as with most projects of this nature it always seems to come down to the wire and the quality of the job is certainly not being comprised by pushing to the deadline date. The WFC is confident in the ability of all those  working on Christeen and we can’t wait to get her back sailing!
