Work was completed late last year, and Blue Opal has been sitting in Pwllheli on the hard waiting for the sailing season. With the chaos of Brexit and a citizenship application, I’m having to look into delivery skippers/crews to get her back to Dun Laoghaire. She’ll have a fresh coat of anti-foul on, and should glide through the water .. and hopefully no crazy knocking from the engine shaft.
Fully glassed in, prop back on. Barely any room for a disc cutter 
The new active-cooling inboard end of the seal, and glasswork.
Cutless bearing – all closed up
