PURITAN is quite simply a #legend. She beautifully carries before her the spirit of America’s ‘Gilded Age’, was one of the earliest participants in the ‘Classic Yacht Revival’, and has continued evangelistically to spread the word for over four #decades, with alumni becoming key players; disciples even. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/688/PURITAN Built from the highest grade of steel then available by a shipyard set up to build submarines for the US Navy - and infused with the DNA of some of the finest American schooners - the care that went into PURITAN’s design and build, her ease of sailing and motion, and her spacious yet intimate accommodations have always guaranteed lovers, even when her chips were seriously down in the late 1960s. Mediterranean-based for most of the past 30 years, PURITAN has been enjoyed since 2015 in current ownership as a successful MCA-coded charter yacht and summertime family cruiser - with her centreboard-up draft allowing access to anchorages and harbours other yachts of her size can't reach.

Deep into the rudder project and we need a long fairing board to sand the blade. There's no point buying one as we don't intend to use it that often (fingers 🤞) and they are quite heavy so what's the solution? Use some scraps of foam and staple the sanding paper to it. Works a treat, didn't cost us anything and it is uper light weight. Winning 👍
