Ordinary Day

Saga's restored helm seat is back in the hull.

The next job for Saga is to replace the centre board. The original centre board is 6.5mm steel which is a bit on the heavy side for an aging hull out of the water so we plan to construct a ply look-a-like which will be a lot lighter.

Interestingly Saga's centre board doesn't have a pivot point, instead it relies on a set of rollers and its position in the centre board case.

Elsewhere in the workshop Venture received undercoat.
