Update: Now relocated to Franklin Boat Builders


Rogue is now safely relocated from Nelson to Picton. The engine seized up just before French Pass and she had to be towed the rest of the way.


Jock from Franklin Boat Builders called to say he'd feel better if she was put on the hard tonight so that she does not take on any more water. We agreed the way forward would be 1) fixing the leak, 2) repairing the mast, and 3) repairing the engine.

On the topic of the leak he believes at this time after a discussion with Bruce Askew, prior to a survey they will do, the problem is more of a caulking issue. If this is all it is I'm thankful but not so foolish to be too hopeful. It's up to Franklin's now to get her back up to scratch.
