Paragon the yacht



Here is Paragon at her first spot on the hardstand at Tauranga Bridge Marina, and Rob having his first (of many) climb across the top. Paragon is a Stewart 34 with a centre cockpit and a 2 metre scoop added on which looks great - thanks to Alex McNab who has put many hours of hard work into her already. Now it's up to Rob and I to carry on the job and make her sailable. We have a long way to go but will keep you informed of progress as time allows. We think she's going to be great. Thanks to all of you who have helped us get her this far already - Doug the truckdriver, Bruce at Bridge Marina Travellift and all the rest of you who have encouraged us - we'll probably need a lot more of it over the next few months but it's a start.

Thanks Abs - your help as an expert boat masker and unmasker will be very much appreciated. Bob Newcombe has offered to give us a quote for the paint job. The keel is being dropped today so it will be easier for us all to stand around standing the hull, and easier to climb up and down to the cabins and cockpit. Current thinking is black and white for colour schemes.
