Getting the ship.

After a long stay at Strandby Shipyard and Bedding ship is now back in Frederikshavn where we started to rig her for sailing.

after arrival to Miami was the first task to get the masts again, an abandoned Port of Frederikshavn has promised to help, it held the first and then the masts came back, she began to resemble a real ship again. An important task is to get Materne to stand correctly in relation to how the ship is at sea, they must be slightly forward or backward or straight up and down, there are many views and many lessons, we now believe to have put the masts really good, they are beautiful, shrouds and stays set.

A large proportion of Passover went for most of us with rigging but there are obviously many more gøermål, all worked hard on when we had our first race with Tordenskiold to Oslo, Norway the 5 May.

DMA had claimed about Providence before they would give a disp. to sail to Norway, ship has been on land for a long time and we've made big changes so their demands are reasonable. Despite a great effort by all was it finally decided that we were not ready to sail to Norway, we will not run the high risk to sail to Norway with an untested ship,da, which is made clear in the last minute, it would be contrary to our decision to have a high security.

Our forward rate agreements help, Johnny has been on board to get our Furuno Network to play together as Radar, Plotter, Sonar and Koma are like one unit. Tom Sorensen has restored our fire fighting equipment, ProFire so the engine is secured properly.

As a new light in the aft cabin and engine replaced with LED lights, a new lustype uses VERY little power, everyone is satisfied with the new light, other light sources in the ship will be changed in step with our economy can sustain it.

At this writing, the ship ready to sail with the statutory equipment but we still need to refine and trim the ship after the long stay in Strandby.

Monday's races will start up again shortly when everything is alright, there will be message on this website, kik tab “Members” – “Foreningskalender” here, all races fall under the purview.

Spring is upon the ship

Spring is slowly coming, working feverishly to make the ship ready for its first trip in early May. A solid crowd of ship's master crew have all winter working hard to make the ship ready.

There have been several major tasks that are still underway, most importantly of all is to get the ship close, last year's trip was at some apartment you like sailing in a fish-chest, there was just as wet in the bed as on the deck, it can we do not welcome our crew and clients. The deck has been skrabt clean of old fernis/B3 with drying, as the years have formed a thick layer on deck, two of the deck planks were in such bad condition that it must be replaced. To beat an entire deck is quite a mouthful but it should be done, Therefore, it has also received the highest priority. The team is on deck with crew supervisor Asger, Britta and Sven N, which will also tell the bruising on back of the hand after stroke with club, hurts in the beginning, gang have recently been helped by Jack Plum. To finish, we have been forced to summon expertise right from Skagen, Lars and Jesper both ship timber helps us make the cover finished.

Painting the ship is also a major task, our past green color should udskiftetes with a gray color, a special request from the Marine Conservation Fund, it is a little strange to see the ship gray where before there was green, being changed as much as we can reach, but there will still be green to be a while yet, it must painter gang enough to overcome the, gang currently consists of Britta and after bad shoulder and arm has jumped on paint together with Walther, Torben and Benny.

One important item is of course the little food we sometimes must take, here comes Britta and Torben with lunch and Villy usually have a white bread with the morning coffee.

The engine room is also a major task, although there is made about the space itself is not there still many things that have changed with the new deckhouse, Most pipelines are in some way affected because there is now an skyligth and a new decline, Henning and Villy is indeed an auxiliary motor in the engine.

Will Leukapheresis which becomes the new navigation space is significantly less than what we have so far been donated to, Space has moved slightly aft in relation to the old, beds is posted again, bulkhead into the engine is again quite, Joergen N. has done a good job with the tree. There is more headroom and be left without due down when navigating. The new relationship has done that once again we are forced to change our Electric's facilities, it is a job where your tongue must be kept straight in the mouth, everything will work perfectly as this is the nerve center of the ship while sailing. Laurits try best ability to do all skipper happy with the location of forward rate agreements, etc.. particular. becoming light in the aft cabin of the new LED lights which use very little power, over time, it is intended that all lights should be switched to LED, it will bring down consumption by approximately. 70% which has a significant influence when the ship did not shore.

After a chat with the ship's FSA, it turns out that we can not get the survey before the ship in June, it is a little bit unfortunate because the vessel is on land now and therefore will have to overtake the ship up again until June, the annual sikkerhedssyn will thus also in early June.

We're not done with the ship yet and there is still much to ship ready to sail, Nevertheless, the ship should be ready for first race 5. May the ship to Oslo with Torndeksiold to be a part of VISIT DENMARK marketing in Norway. The Board hopes that many of the ship's friends will lend a hand to make the ship ready. There will be convened by the Board.
