After a
little over 3 years in salt water, Elessina was taken out of the water
at Eel Pie Island Slip on 10th September 2007 for routine hull painting
and replacement anodes. Some photos:-
Slip report on hull condition,
what needed to be done, how long did it take and how much it cost.

Waiting to be slipped, the slip / building
(Eel Pie Island Slipways Ltd)
is on the right hand side of photo
|
This photo shows the chine and old anode,
after jet wash. The
redish paint is the primer.

We both worked very hard
(Leigh with the random orbital sander, me with taking the photos!!).
The red paint is the primer.... all the black Comastic had worn away
at the bow. The waterline is the top of the red (prime) area, the
rusty parts (yellow areas) are above the waterline.

Our View from inside the
slip building..... At high tide we had to stop for an hour or two,
as the water covered the slip.... a little rest was always
welcome.

anodes.

Nearly done.... All
repainted, ready for launch, with
new Magnesium anodes
|
The Weed hatch plates, bow
thruster left and stern right. I installed a new gasket / seal...
worth remembering to take some material along, we forgot but fortunately the
yard had some I could use.

Ready for launch, just
awaiting the tide |
Another view.... just prior
