Saunterer is ready once again to go to sea!
Date: 28th April, 2016After 12 months out of the water, and having had her floors replaced, her keel bolts and rivets renewed, her frames inspected, and some 750kg of unnecessary ballast removed from her hull (from an overall weight of 16 tonnes), Saunterer is at last ready to be relaunched…

The picture above compares to her portrait in April 2015 in the same position before all the work was carried out – at the beginning of this uncertain and vital restoration journey.

The final preparations are made before her relaunch on 28 April 2016. Thanks to Guy Savage and all the team for the hard work over months to bring her to this point!
