    Friends of pur saw the boat in Fitzroy a few days ago. 

    Storm in a teacup. 

    Great news someone should tell the authorities.

    Sorry actually 4%, might have to follow Priscillas lead 

    Don’t follow my lead I’m in the process of returning to being skinned alive by Westhaven😩

    One positive as a purchaser is the outrageous berth fees have crushed the value of vessels.

    Fabulous work, too Nice to put in the water.

    Actually I am thinking it will be a shame to finish her maybe I could do like Lex did with the Haparanda and cut the Morby down the middle and in half grow her a bit now that would keep me occupied .😀

    Looks amazing. Looks a lot like the Stornoway 12 by Paul Fisher. Dad and I built one a few years ago the Stornoway also has multiple chines. We did a stitch and glue, your shiplap finish looks fabulous.

     

    Thanks for that.

    Francois Vivier designed Morbic 12.

    I have gone with Carbothane 133LH as a topcoat over Interprotect epoxy primer and the satin finish is a welcome relief from high gloss.

    Other positives with Carbothane is the recoating time is indefinite and it’s bloody damned hard as😀

  5. Rebuilt the fire box on the wood burner.

    Getting it apart was like one of those Chinese puzzle box’s .

    The one thing I have learned in retirement is a nice snooze paves the way from confusion to success.

  6. The Morby is getting close to the end of the build and it is time to order the mainsail.

    I am looking for a sailmaker anyone got any preferences.

    Think you need to go through your post and change the present tense for the past tense ;-)

    'Can' should now be 'Could' or 'Did'

    Well it most certainly “ found a submerged object”so that part of the mission was a success.

    I note that the crew muster was 75 but the bunk capacity was 66 so some crew must have been on watch.

  8. “Missions that the ship enables include coastal and harbour survey, underwater explosive disposal, underwater search and recovery, and limited mine countermeasures,” the NZDF said. The ship supported Navy operations “across the maritime domain”.

    “The ship can survey harbours and approaches prior to larger support ships landing support equipment and personnel, whether for combat or disaster relief. It can support the ongoing mission to eradicate explosive remnants of war in the South Pacific.

    “And it can undertake salvage operations to find and recover submerged objects.”😀

  9. If you’re still onboard a submersed boat electrocution would just join the list of immediate concerns.

    I wonder if lithium iron batteries continue to burn whilst submersed.
