Having the hull finished at the welding shop is a major step. Chinook now looks (mostly) like a real sailing yacht. Super, super exciting.

Welding done, the hull is put onboard a dolly to be removed from the shop. |

From the dolly, Chinook is lifted onto a truck bed for transport. |

A la prochaine! |
The hull is on in its way to Cherbourg to be given a coat of paint, then fitted out with electrical, plumbing, cabinets, furniture, standing and running rigging and all sorts of other expensive bits and pieces.
