Ian and
Nan Gray have bought a sloop-rigged Victoria 34 that has spent
the last seven years ashore in Dublin.
The boat,
formerly known as 'Katey Dedalus II', has been renamed 'Raven'
and delivered to the Clyde Marina at Ardrossan.
Now,
'Raven' requires a bit of a refit, which will keep Ian and Nan
busy for the time being. She is being re-engined and the drive
to the propeller shaft is being modified. The cutlass bearing,
the rudder and the tiller all need serious attention and there
are plans for work of a more cosmetic nature as well.
Ian has
said he will document the work and take photographs, so we
might get a supplement to our Technical Manual!
Once finished, 'Raven' will be based at Dunstaffnage Bay near Oban. The plan,
see opposite, was borrowed from the Dunstaffnage Marina's website
and The Wide Mouthed Frog is the name of the restaurant!
