Peggy of New Point

Mast is back on Peggy, she looks great.  We still need to finish up some things before Urbanna Oyster Festival, but is looking very good, we should be proud. A big thanks to Morningstar for accommodating us. A few pictures of today's work... (Photos courtesy of Dave Machen)

Here are several of today's pictures of the mast being installed on Peggy.  I took plenty of pictures, this is a sampling.

Work on Peggy continues. She recently returned, having her waist completed, chain plates mounted, stainless steel stem cover installed, and hole cut in the deck for the mast. Mast should be installed in a week...

Back in the water, looking at Gwynn's Island from the pilot house. And a view of Deltaville, looking back. Nice to have Peggy back in the water. Just before launch, at Deltaville Boat Yard.

The rain slowed us down then put a stop to our painting today. Pete and George got the patch board sanded and 2 coats of epoxy on. Dave Machen got the propeller bearing housing bolted in with the new longer lag bolts. And Pete started painting the white top coat until the rain stopped him. She sure is looking good.

Dave Mortimer fits a new plank to the side.

Pete Hall working on the sides of Peggy. May be painting on primer tomorrow. Still have more patching to do, but she is looking better. Page Herbert working on the sides. We had 2 boatwrights from the marina working today on some of the repairs with 6 MMF volunteers.
