Lifting out for Blacking

The reason we are now at Swanley Marina is for the blacking of the hull and any other touchups to paintwork that are unable to be done while in the water. We are in the DIY shed for the next week and Derek certainly has his work cut out for him.

Ooh this looks scary.

Safely on the trailer and ready for water blasting.
