As a few of us are scrambling to get Despina ready for her outing, the rest of the team is making great headway on our two major winter projects of having Gas-Hopper ready to run for the ACBS Gravenhurst show and finally completing the Lightning so we can get some kids sailing this summer!
There was a blemish in the front deck of Gas-Hopper which on investigation - once the engine and fuel tank were out, was a failure of the 1945 plywood it was fashioned from - it had a huge knot in one layer. Anton cut out the failed area and created a patch to go in later. Meanwhile we used the hole to assist with cleaning out the hull.

| Damage removed and ready for repair. |

| Trevor is looking farther ahead to completion... |
The Lightning is looking closer and closer to completion as this winter the work on her has been quite continuous - She's getting wet this year for sure!

| George reinstalls gudgeons... |
 |
| chainplates are being sealed on final installation. |
