After six months 'on the hard' (dry storage) in Marina Seca, we had
the hull painted, the rudder bushings replaced, and a boom vang fitting
straightened. They did excellent work. Dream Chaser glides through
the water now.

|
|
Dream Chaser was sitting in the work yard with its paint sanded off the hull.
|
|
|
|
Rudder had new top and bottom bushings replaced.
|
|
|
|
Sand blasting the iron keel was sorely needed.
|
|
|
|
Some of the fiberglass and paint supplies used.
|
|
|
|
The hull had 3 barrier coats, 2 primer coats, and 2 final coats.

Jose paints the first of the primer coats, after having 3 barrier coats painted.
|
|
|
|
The Prop was polished so well I could shave in the reflection.

Jose's final touches
|
|
|
|
Marina Seca had a special hydraulic lift for moving boats.
