Good Morning Fans of Success 👋 We’ve managed to get the Ford D6 Dorset engine and Borg Warner Velvet Drive Gearbox out which was a mammoth task! Many thanks to Paul , Alan and Mat for helping us achieve this.
Upon closer inspection the engine and gearbox are beyond economical repair so we need to try and source some replacements but that’s a way off as yet , We have a move date of the 21st March where Brian Allen and Lady Emmz II is to tow us the 2 miles from Benfleet Moorings around to Oyster Creek Boatyard at Canvey point so next jobs for the team is to plug a few more leaks and get the generator and batteries onboard for the voyage from where we will be lifted out the water and placed on dry land to start the mammoth task of sorting out the hull on the old lady!

Good evening Fans of Success this week we’ve been plugging a few of the leaks in the Hull and we’ve managed to get rid of a stack of rubbish including a roll of very soggy old Carpet . Brian’s son David also came along to help out after School, Bless him he did some great work helping us scrub the years of mud off the wood.
We’ve also moved the heater in the second cabin to start the long process of drying the wood that’s in there! Lots more scrubbing of wood to come in our Futures…………… More exciting news to follow.

Good evening fans of Success 👋 Today the first cabin was treated to a few fittings in readiness for the 12v lighting system to be reinstated and we also fitted a period mirror to brighten up the place. Also another Bilge pump was installed to help keep the moisture out! (As we run around stopping leaks! 😉) It’s lovely to see some hard craft slowly paying off ! ❤️Roll on the New Year for the lift out to really make the old lady really shine again once more!! 👍💪👊

Good Evening fans of Success the last few weeks we have seen the 102 year old girl steadily being bought back to life! The starboard side is now mostly free from leaks now and is now sitting in primer. Next year she is due to be lifted out for the first time in 30 years to start the mammoth task of renewing the exterior pitch pine outer planks.
I love the Pics with lights in the Port holes! More exciting news to follow ………….
