Haul out in Singapore! (5th Dec.2008)

After almost four weeks of waiting we finally get hauled out of the water in Raffles Marina, Singapore.

Corrosion caused by serious electrolysis weakened the bronze propeller strut, it sheered off after we hit something in the Malacca straights off Malaysia.

Grinding out the base of the old strut.

The bronze base of the old strut is attached to the hull with four bronze bolts.

The New and the old!

It took a full day to build up the Fibre glass around the new strut.

...The finished product!

After eight days in the hard we finally get dropped back in the water to give Blue Moon a test run.
