After a month at the boatyard (well, four months total), UNDRA is finally back in the water.
The whole reason for this haul out was simple: we wanted to shape UNDRA into the boat we believe she can be. That meant adding a few things we felt were missing for true bluewater cruising... and removing a few that didn't fit the way we travel.
As we dug deeper, we kept discovering things aboard that made us scratch our heads. One of the more surprising finds was a massive, insanely expensive industrial hydraulic setup. It was unlike anything we have ever seen and served only a single purpose.
And for the way we cruise... it made absolutely no sense. So, we made the decision to remove it.
Of course, that was just one item on a very long boatyard to-do list. Over the past month we also tackled corrosion protection, battery replacements, bottom paint touch-ups, carpentry repairs... and so much more.
All leading up to the moment of truth.
Would she float? Would anything leak? Would all the unfinished projects somehow come together in time?
Join us for our final push of boatyard chaos as UNDRA returns to where she belongs, the water!
P.S.
If you missed it the first time around, here is our post/video with Jess from MPS all about corrosion protection. If you are a boat owner, it is full of important information:
