Building 'Tamara':

galley saloon
The galley area starting to take shape..
Saloon in progress, looking forward, chain locker just visible, bunk bases fitted and one partial bulkhead.
bunks saloon2
The port bunk, note leg space boxed out, projects into saloon.
Saloon practically complete.
drag skid
Back to the completed boat, she is way back in the yard and needs to be dragged to the street front. Two pipes and greased skids were used.
Judicious maneouvering of the pipes was needed to get lined up with the narrow passage.
close low bed
It actually worked out with a few centimeters on either side.
Next day the lowbed trailer and crane arrived . .
mobile crane ready
By skidding the boat to the street front only a 40 tonne mobile crane was required.
Just about ready to go off . . .
harbour in slings
After a surprisingly short time we are in the harbour and the crane is waiting.
She is nicely balanced on internal slings
down she goes off
And its into the briney
No leaks, engine starts and we are off to the marina.
