ESSENTIAL repairs before SPLASHDOWN after two years in canals.

REPAIRING your sailboat in the boat yard is REWARDING, frustrating, funny, demoralising and tiring but it's a part of boat owning. Save money with DIY for epoxy, antifoul, gelcoat repairs. The target is to complete below and above waterline work to get OPTIONS back in the water within 7 days. S2 Ep4: We get back to OPTIONS in Port Napoleon dry storage yard. She was near Paris in an old quarry marina for one winter, then in Decize at the end of the Nivernais Canal for the next. This last winter she spent cradled out of the water in a Mediterranean boat yard . The yard moved her from the drop spot, thankfully closer to water and electric points. Sheenagh is not good with ladders, but overcomes fear to get aboard. Is it dry and secure inside? Is there any damage?
