A little update!  I finished working on the Keel.  After sandblasting I used metal filler for the rust craters and then coated with 2 layers of West Marine Epoxy before using underwater primer and anti foul.


Once the keel was back in I was able to get her back on the trailer and apply some vinyl name stickers


Then finally I was able to get Mustang onto her mooring just outside the Sailing Club in Christchurch.



I was also able to get out last weekend for a short solo test sail around the harbour.  I'm very much looking forward to getting back out and onto the coast.  I just need more practice doing things single handed and time to gain confidence.
