7. Launch 2010

After aborting refurbishment in Spring 2010 Little Grace was launched in early summer.

The gear was put back together using bathroom sealant for the deck fittings so it would be easier to remove them at the end of the year.

The launch 2010 - sorry about the camera phone quality

Arrival at the launch ramp.


During the launch the car really struggled when I tried to pull the boat out again to realign her because the ramp was so steep.

Yes there are lots of fenders but we had been moored to a floating skip, well it looked like one.



A few days later I had to re-step the mast


As I was on my own at the time I had to step the mast on the water, likely some willing hands came along at the right time.





Registered in Finland


You can see Little Grace's temporary notice registration in Finland in the cabin portlight. In subsequent posts it will be on her quarters.
