In this episode I continue the Contessa 32 refurbishment by finishing off the skeg repair (filling with foam and laminating over the top), fit some “new” seacocks that are in fact rather old bronze Blakes. I also fit a new bulkhead in the engine bay to replace the one removed in the last episode and apply a flowcoat finish to the whole area.

About Me
I run a small business called The Solent Boat Butler and spend my days repairing, maintaining and refitting sailing boats (often Contessa 32’s due to my long experience with them). I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of real-world experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some own-boat sail training, help owners with deliveries, provide pre-purchase inspections and deliver consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing.
