It's mid December, 2018 and Chloe's systems are being installed rapidly as I type. Her bottom coating of Antifouling is complete and her sides are polished; her cockpit paintwork is looking gorgeous and her decks are now Deck-king'd. She's covered in a lot of protection paper while her guts are being firmly stuck into place.
Chloe's engine has been mounted and her propellor shaft has been installed. Her two large alternators are attached, one on each side and they just look powerful. Her inside frames that will hold the sole plates (floorboards) are all open so that walking around inside of Chloe today requires a skill that was only partially developed by us two, 45 years ago, as kids on a play ground climbing frame. Installing boat systems require agility. Peter need to loose weight!
