Out of the water, into the workshop.
Windows out, ready for the cut.
The inside sealed up to keep the rest of the inside clean. Strengthening bars in place so that the boat doesn't warp when it is cut.
First cut, through the roof.............
..............and then the sides
Very neat cuts. Staggered to add strength.
The stretch begins.
Getting longer................
.................and longer.....................
.............. almost 3 metres longer!
The base plate and one side in place.
The other side goes into place.
One side of the cabin.
Both cabin sides and the roof supports.
Waiting for the new roof.
Roof on, windows in.
Bottom blacked, primer applied and back in the water.
Blackstone is now almost 52 feet long - I'm not sure we can see that far!
Inside painted. All ready for fitting out. What a lot of extra room!
Nice to see they did a cold cut unlike some yards. Who was doing the job?
