Restoration done.

It has been a relatively straight forward restoration and the fitting of the rigging has been quite stress free. I am happy with how she has turned out and I am looking forward to sailing Grace . The radio installation also went well and the winch works a treat, so far as I can tell with a test in light wind.
Now I kind of know what I'm doing I'm looking for another project, I have herd from My mother that My cousin has another 6 Metre tucked away in his loft. I'll have to work on him to stand any chance of seeing that one!!

Looking vintage.

The old meets the new.

I've  used part of the old main boom end because it's a really nice piece of antique brass and I want to use as much as the original parts that I have.

Rigging continues.

In my mind the rigging was to take a couple of hours. In reality it's going to take a couple of weeks.

Fitting the standing rigging.

The standing rigging is great quality and does Grace proud.

All suited up!

The new sails arrived from Rod Carr Sails U.S.A. and looking good, almost done !!

Just waiting for the standing rigging fittings from U.S.A and we'll be sailing!!

Awaiting sails
