It's a holiday in Cambodia makeover completed

Here it is...

In the process of being rigged for the first time since the 1980's. The next step is to get it wet and see if I can sail her.

Had to spend a few dollars on the wing tramps to replace corroded or missing eyelets, new ropes and stay wire before it all came together. I figured that as long as it's my brother's boat he can pay me back, and he did.

The sail looks good and should make a big difference to the previous Garry Fogg sails it wore when first launched. I only discovered one problem, the skiff was never issued with a sailing number, thus it sports AUS 9369 which is confusing considering it was built in 1985. Oh well, let's go sailing.
