Winter maintenance
Hardstands and slips are getting busy as winter maintenance is undertaken and the scars and improvements following a long glorious season in the City of Sails are tended to.
Tradditional coastal replica Ripple is hauled for her topsides paint to be stripped and a coat of oil stain finish applied. Her builder Ralph Sewell saturated her redwood timbers with linseed oil when he built her and this has had her throwing off paint ever since, so skipper Rodger Morris is stripping her topsides right back and revealing her woodenheart. Bravo!
