He has brought to my notice a few points. Anodes were incorrectly positioned and made suggestions. Cutlass bearing to propeller distance is too great and will cause excessive wear and made suggestions as to rectify the problem. I will be discussing this rectification with the yard in the next couple of days. Engine room fire suppression system requirements. Electrical system is up to current `regs` as required. Impressed with many of the upgrades that have taken place to date. Suggestions as to how to install the new Cupro nickel fuel lines. Altogether a good review…………. More a small ship......rather than a boat he said...............Viewing essential.More photos and details upon request.....SSRI no 165541Lying ashore for inspection at Melton/Woodbridge Suffolk IP12.
