Hobie Progress

My free Hobie is closer to being launched, may be as soon as this Friday.

Since bringing her home, a large part of my effort has been focused on getting a trailer going. The trailer I bought had been hopelessly neglected and needed major work: descale and repaint frame, strip old electrics, replace tyres and tubes, replace axle bolts, grease wheel bearings, refit cradle parts. All this work was completed yesterday, with just the mast stands needing to be made. So on to the boat.
Yesterday I lifted the hulls into position on the trailer and fitted the trampoline frame, minus the bent port side frame. So far so good!
Today I straightened the port side frame piece, removed the chainplates and left it with a welder. I'm now anticipating that it will be completed by Thursday.
