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 10, and the last one before the launch !
We are taking care of the deck which is traditionnaly built (no plywood sheet) in yellow cedar, with a teak king plank. Many thanks to Loïc Siat at Chantier de la Bascatic.
We have finished treating and preparing the ballast keel. Sheila has two coats of enamel paint on her hull and two coats of antifouling below the waterline, with a lot of friendly help by Stéphane and also Olivier.
Cheers from France !
