October 2016

We bought 50 metres of 8mm anchor chain with 50 metres octoplait nylon. All new standing rigging with 'Facnor' roller furler ready for collection. This month we have had quotes for a new genoa and mainsail service, we've also buffed and polished the hull, removing any oxidation and bringing Jingo's colour back to it's true form. Utterly amazing how Jingo is nearly 40 years old and her colour is still as bright. We also glassed in new webs to renew and provide a thicker support for the new chainplates. 

Mattis prepared the inside before installing the fillets for the new chainplates
