Just a brief update today as there's been nothing for the past week and a half, Nathan continues to work on the extended cockpit seating, the new winch bases have been welded on (and the roof lining subsequently re-fitted in the aft cabin), and the new mast should have it's last piece of rigging fitted today. We've been waiting on the parts for it to come from the UK for the past two weeks (hence not a lot has been going on) but now with a calm day and plenty of sun, we've perfect conditions to get everything finished off.

Nazare continues to be low 20's (C), the northerlies have blown themselves out, and a few new boats have arrived, including Eric on Fiona (www.yachtfiona.com). If you like your sailing, you'll want to have a look at Eric's site - 320,000nm sailed on Fiona over the past few decades, and every continent visited, including a trip to the Antarctic.

Anyway, update to follow this weekend when (hopefully) all the last few jobs will be finished and we'll start testing the new rig.
