Good morning world

Dawn breaks and it looks like another sunny day is on the way....

Sapphira

Sapphira is a Cape Carib 33 yacht that was built here in Hong Kong in 1975 to a Ted Brewer design.   

She came to us when her previous owners eventually admitted to themselves that they could no longer find the time to keep her in the condition she needed to be in nor the time to sail and enjoy her.

After nearly two years of floating on her swing mooring the hull is far from smooth and her teak deck and woodwork has lost most of its lustre and varnish.

Ahead of me I have a winter of DIY but what a challenge it will be.
