27 viewsI've had a new sail cover made in Volos. It encompasses the whole sail, boom and gaff to help protect it from the strong sunlight. A tongue with velcro wraps around the mast ming the whole thing very secure. A fair price at €145 made by a shop that makes sun awnings....

23 viewsKaliope almost ready for launching for 2012 season. This year I had to remove almost all the original antifouling, after sealing & priming it now has a hard antfouling.... The hull came up beautifully with its final polish with Hempel wax and protect with a UV protection additive. Finally some further enhancements to the rudder around the tiller fitting and we were ready!
