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.

It goes fast forward

The ship is now ready to install its new two deckhouses.

The two deck houses were really nice and the quality is great on top, as usual, it is a pleasure to see the beautiful work.

As can be seen in the pictures is still a little messy, it is because we work to recover scratched the bottom and subsequent kalfatteres. Work is also in the machinery, will the cabin and into- and without outboard paint. It is too cold to paint, but we are ready to paint as soon as possible.

A perhaps biggest change is that we walk and thinking of changing the green color from gray, marine conservation fund has in the restoration plan, the color gray as a favorite, we have not taken the final decision yet.

Agterlukafet has become very different from previous, there are now two downturns, and there is more headroom. There are still two berths available. Navigation should now be seated but gængæld become a major chart table so that there can be a completely unfolded charts.

The engine room is about to be brought back to last year's state, However, there is a new decrease of the machinery, which gives a little trouble getting around down there, but work is underway to find an optimal solution then it also becomes quite ok.

It is a pleasure to see it anegesemnet all down for the day, and of course there is also room for you if you come by Sunday mornings between 09.30-13.00 on Strandby Shipyard.

Press Lars and Jesper Hedegaaard passes Saturday 12. March to show us how we beat deck so it is convenient to rain and seawater. We plan to hold a full working day so that our friends from near and far have the opportunity to help, there comes a mail otherwise look at our foreningskalender here will more information be available on the date, Having further details.
