'Chortle' is our family sailing boat since 2016. She is a Sadler 29, with bilge keels, twin skinned and polyurethane filled hull (apparently unsinkable) and was built in 1984. She has received considerable amounts of work in her refurbishment from dad and we now enjoy taking most of our holidays on her in the waters of the west coast of scotland.

Shiny top sides!
Can not quite believe we have time to indulge chortles top sides with a shinning. But wow its a great improvement.
Prop
The new prop was lots of fun putting together with the kids. They loved it and sanded and fitted the zinc anodes.
Rebuilt rudder and tiller
So satisfying to put it all back together. Todays progress has been very fast with whole family on it and our helper.
