Since undertaking the major reframing operation whilst on the slipway, we have now relaunched Hawila and are very happy to be afloat once again! The planks have been slowly taking up and the seams are now tight. We have been busy fairing the inside of the frames to accept the ceiling planks and bilge stringers, which will help to produce the rigidity of the ship fore and aft. Fairing is to shape the frames by planing and sanding to produce a fair and even curve and allows us to fasten the ceiling plank tightly to the surface of the frames. Having completed the fairing in the bow, our team wasted no time in hanging the first ceiling plank. The oak plank is steamed for two hours to make it sufficiently pliable so that it can be bent into shape and fastened to the frames. Once fixed, it adds rigidity to the fore and aft strength of the ship.

We are currently working on the refit of our sailing vessel Hawila. This structural overhaul will make her fit for the first Transatlantic crossing. Hawila will be sailing 60 tons of organic products as well as trainees across the Atlantic, in an emission-free way, showing that respectful, ethical, and clean transport is possible. This work is possible thanks to people like you investing in shares! Learn more: https://www.hawila.org/cooperative/#share

Alexander Marine is pleased to present the 2006 Offshore 64 Pilothouse Motor Yacht 'Calm Spirit' to the market as central agents. Offshore Motor Yachts are regarded as a well-built and highly capable long-range motor yacht, with this example being easily handled by a couple. 'Calm Spirit' has an impressive cruising history having proven to be comfortable and economical while previously exploring from Tasmania in the South to the Whitsundays in North Queensland. Her raised pilothouse design, and William Crealock hull, provide a great platform from which you can reel in the miles. A popular design feature of these boats is the cockpit and saloon areas being nice and low to the water. Likewise 'Calm Spirit' offers significant weather-protected exterior entertaining spaces including a huge cockpit and massive flybridge area - including two full-sized double lounges in addition to the moulded seating adjacent to the flybridge helm station - the entire elevated area enjoying great views. Entry onto 'Calm Spirit' is via her hydraulic hi/lo boarding platform which is great for swimming and ease of stowing her Zodiac RIB tender. Access from the hi/lo platform is via dual transom doors to both port & starboard.
