Undecided

It is time to start thinking about when we are going to pull Naughty-Cal out of the water for the winter and start thinking about what little jobs we would like to get completed during the time she will be ashore.

There will be the usual servicing to the outdrive which will include changing the oil seals, flushing the drive through with oil and then refilling it with fresh oil, changing the bellows and the anodes and generally giving the drive a general tidy up and scrub clean.

But then there are the miriad of other little odd jobs that rear their heads throughout the season on top of the usual hull and super structure polish and application of fresh antifoul paint.

We are still undecided as to when to pull her out this year. Do we do it before Christmas or do we wait until into the new year? How long will we need out of the water? Will it be a quick couple of weeks spruce up? A month? Or do we need to stretch it out to three as we have done previously?

We have still to decide all of this in the coming couple of months.
