LADY CAROLE REFIT – Update #2
Small update re important design work to the overall lines and look of the boat. Again co-owner Patrick Crawshaw updates us below :
“When they raised the main cabin roof, the aft deck curves and back end on the upper part looked very clumsy and ungainly. She lost a lot of elegance in the stern. We spent a day refining these lines and curves. – lots of curves. She now looks much better. The large aft bulkhead curve was enlarged to open up the aft deck and then the back ends where they meet with the roof refined with nice curves. All the curves in the stern section now have relationships with one another. There is also going to be a curve where the entrance from the duck board is and this will be raised so the lettering can go symmetrically across the stern.
Windows are next. I think they are being done next week so will send details of how we work those out in relation to the stern curves/lines and the mid ship section.”

And Some Great News – WW rocked on the search for x4 1/2 cowl vents. Not only did we locate some, they are in fact her original ones, removed in a past life and kept in storage. Well done to Ron Trotter and his generous offer to return them to the vessel.

Not get. There is a possibility the original 1/2 vent source may also have the mushroom vents as well. Alan H

Did Patrick manage to get the mushroom vents as well?
