Mutley93 has been sold

on Saturday 15th April my d zero Mutley93 was sold to Ninian and will be sailed in the manchester area. an early start to get to Bala on time and pack the boat away and tie it down ready for the transfer. i made sure i had everything needed. after this i went over to Dogstar(Black Magic) To get her unwrapped. the cover was taken off after bailing all the water off the top, all the spars were removed and the heavy rudder, with the help of David Ansell we put the main mast up and the mizzen the rest of the baot was rigged whilst waiting for Ninian to arrive. when he did we handed over the correct stuff went for a tea and did the money transfer.a last farewell picture and Mutley93 was gone. back to Black Magic as i will be reverting the name, i fully rigged the baot and got a feel for what it was going to be like overall i am really happy as the baot was only boat on supplied photos. with help from Rob Hyde we got the gaff up no problem. the day was very sunny and warm but not a lot of wind. i am still waitng for my engine electric to put onboard and get the Lithuim phospater iron 100amph battery with all that it was time to pack away and put the rather tired cockpit cover. new one on order. plans are to rename the boat back to Black Magic former name and stickers still visable repaint the boat Black , get the bision 55 outboard ecoworthy 100amph battery do some re roping ie the jib sheets and shroud ropes. apart from that re do the teak oil gunwhales and centreboard wood , all are fine but it doesnt hurt.
