Let the refit begin....

[Woodsong]

Well, Poco A Poco pulled out of her home berth at Bald Ridge Marina today for the last time...dock box cleared, lines removed, etc. We moved her to another marina's service yard today...left her on the service dock. Tomorrow she gets hauled out first thing in the a.m. and the refit process begins! The plan is to start with blister repair, bottom paint, and fiberglass deck repair (recoring 2 areas with soft spots). From there....painting topsides, synthetic teak on bridge, and new canvas. Simultaneous with that we'll be having some electrical updating done, probably redo the battery bank location/configuration, evaluate fuel tanks and see what needs to be done with them (if anything- so far still no leaks whatsoever despite seller having been concerned there was a leak, though thus far we've only kept tanks at 1/4 full).
She looked a little lonely at the service dock this afternoon but I think she will be excited to see what is in store for her. I tried explaining it to the old girl but I am not sure she understood everything.

Awaiting tomorrow's haul out:

Good luck and have fun with it.

Reads like $$$$$ to me. Are you going to be doing most of the work yourself?

What is that material hanging off the fingers?

Good luck with it. Whatever you estimated the $ I hope you doubled it to be sure. With old boats it just seems to go that way. One thing leads to another then another then another. Might as well do it all while you are in there making a big mess anyway.

My Albin has been on the hard since 2006 now. Been busy RVing so it has not been missed but it is waiting on a major too before there is a hope of a relaunch. Lucky me. No storage fees.

Best of luck! Sounds like a lot of work is being planned. I guess it will be on the hard for several months?
