Sanding, antifouling and deck equipment

....looks like silverminken will sail sometime during easter!

Got a few more pics from what is going on right now...forgive the poor quality, these are straight out of my HTC Hero....

Silverminken is now inside, and after sanding the hull the antifouling is now being applied. Looks pretty slick!

Still not complete, though, so she will stay inside a few more days while the rig and sails are being transported.

North are transporting the sails for Silverminken as we speak, so they will be here in time.

From astern, the underbody looks sexy!

I got to take a quick tour in the cockpit. This is looking good!

The running rigging looks fantastic! Real, high-quality stuff.

A snapshot of the interior. Can't wait to go down there!

Note the seawater pump - useful when cruising.
Tor and Kjell Inge working to get everything ready.

Also, here you can see the compass was moved down in order to get three ST60+ instruments above the hatch.

That's it for now....more pictures to come!
