just before bending the sails back on the spars
sterm sheeting, 200m of mainsheet!
nice big clear working decks
our one mechanical aid - the windlass
22' of bowsrit in front of the bow, needs stowing on the pontoon
the rig is truly massive!
the 3 v old hoops came from Woodbine, allegedly sunk by a U boat!

CK348.com of course
I seem to have spent the winter rebuilding wooden blocks!
she is very happy to be afloat again

a LOT of paint and varnish this winter
she is planked substantially
pin rails everywhere
mainsail bent on
Geoff's Quarter tonner at home alongside
more pins

My Alice is 1907, so is her clock
these prismatic lights pour sunshine below
massive fastenings for the rig runners above deck
the forepeak - that's my bed under those sails!
