Greetings to the Court of Princess Sheila !
We are restoring the 120 years old Albert Strange yacht Sheila.
She was launched on the Isle of Man in 1905 and as been sailing ever since, thanks to her many lovers.
This is episode 9, with more to come ! The shipwrights team at Chantier de la Bascatic in Baden have finished closing the hull and are working on caulking. We are finalizing the preparation of the rigging and the jib furling system is restored (yes, it is period, Sheila had a furling jib in 1905.)
We still have quit a bit of work on finishing.
Cheers from France !
