Hi Folks,
 
 
 
Lyn's winning pic at the art academy.
 
 
Lyn's been hard at work draining down the rudder, ie drill a few holes and drain down the water, we only had one litre from the base, not bad for 22 months in the briny.
 
 
Completed Rudder , with anti foul, the rudder has been dropped down 100mm to cover the top part.
 
 
The Whitlock steering box prior to refurb and modification .
 
 
The finished article, note that it has a new quadrant arm, and cover , painted logo blue .
 
 
Another view of my pride and joy, no slap in this old box ! the genset hoses in the background, gen set removed, more exciting photos of that to follow once I have rebuilt it .
 
 
For those who know her, Rhythm our wandering partners from Universal Yard , Hamble river on haul out after 30 months at sea .
 
Rhythm nearing the turn table at Doug's boat yard, Opua , just around the corner from Ashby's, in the Bay of Islands .
