Balandra's launch

On June 13 2009, 64 years to the day we re-launched Balandra in the middle of the night. Several weeks of hard work leading up to the launch payed off as this little jewel of a boat was re-united with her familiar home.
Thank-you to everyone who helped out and to those of you who came out to see the launch so late at night.
There are some finishing details to work on but we will have everything done for the Madeira park Boat show in the end of July.

Kotick

Kotick an Enlish built Falmouth Cutter. She has been up in the shop for a little while now getting some much needed repairs. So far she has had the transom rebuilt, a new paint job, the mast re-finished, toe-rail repaired and a hand full of other things. This boat is in nice shape and the new work done to her will make her very hansom.

Transom planks and aft deck being fitted.

Here is Chris fairing the hull after the paint has been stripped.
