Update December 2012

Ceilidh is coming along but it is obvious that more summers will be required to finish her and I am not entirely sure how long it will take.  At 71 I have slowed some and don't accomplish much each day.  None-the-less she is virtually ready for primer and paint next year and once that is done the inside assembly can proceed.  The engine will have to wait until later in the summer for final hookup. 

In the meantime I am proceeding slowly this winter with the final refinishing of removable parts and creation of new parts.  There isn't much left to do, but as I said I'm slow. 

Oct 30, 2012.  The blue canvas keeps rain from getting on the deck as I have
several access holes laying open on the deck. 

I am currently working on two specific projects.  The first is the electrical panel board.  The panel mounting has been changed from a fixed place to a horizontal opening door and is complete, but I am preparing a second opening door to mount the windlass breaker, etc. so that all electrical pieces are accessible. 

The second is the back of the starboard seat under the cupboards.  Like so much of the boat it was very plain with only openings behind the cushions.  I am veneering it and building door fronts that match everything else in the boat.  Over the last few years I have rebuilt all of the interior and upgraded it at the same time.  There is a completely new galley and a revamped navigation station geared toward electronic navigation, but leaving room for charts.
