2002 Major Overhaul

Posted in 2002 Engine Room Plating on May 1st, 2009 by Webmaster

Thanks to a generous grant from the ASB Community Trust in 2002, major hull plating on the port side of the engine room was carried out. A new seawater intake for the condenser was fabricated and the bilge and general purpose/fire pump were overhauled. General hull cleaning and painting were also carried out.
