Internal Changes

Having moved a lighting circuit a week ago, work could now continue removing some more internal wall in order to widen the entrance to a side storage area. The wider entrance is required to make it easier to move boats on trailers in/out of the storage area.

Building Works

Today we had to move a light switch to allow for a section of internal wall to be re knocked out. The section below the red line will be cut out next week. This widens the entrance to this storage area.

Elsewhere work continues on preparing the underside of the catamaran Venture for repair and painting.

New boat

OHBS has received a new donation from South Walls. This is a small dinghy which at times served as a tender for another OHBS boat Cingalee.

Inside at the workshop we have started the process of widening the entrance into one of our side storage areas. This requires the removal of old stainless rails & sheeting previously used to mount a heavy insulated chiller door.
