Following our first "pulling out" session of the winter, we continue to work hard on the four boats that are currently out of the water (Gala 1 & 2, Grande 2 and Glitter).  Apart from the major repairs to Gala 1's port stern end, the boys are carrying out the gel repairs needed to the others, polishing and repainting where necessary.  They will continue to be out of the water for the rest of this week.

Many apologies for the lateness in submitting the pictures of Gala and Glitter's pulling out - technical problems have caused the delay!  But they are now online and for those of you who are Summercraft Facebook Fans and have seen some of the pictures, there's the added treat of additional ones here!  Hope you like them and find them interesting!

Whilst Calvin and Arthur are busy in the dry shed, David is busy winterising all of our launches and for our private customers.  It may nearly be Christmas, but it's still a very busy time at the yard!
