Welcome to The "ALOHA BANKS" Clipper Marine 30 Web Page!
This web-blog is my online journal of the refitting project on my CM30 Clipper Marine Sailboat. You'll find
a variety of topics on the actual refitting as well as links to other sites on the web that I have found helpfull in
the project.
Here "She" is. This is the boat sitting in her slip on Karr Lake. The boat is now 90% complete. My ne goal
is to have her ready for the spring cruise sailing season.
Rick and I have been discussing the
last piece of furniture which is the aft seat of the dinette for over two months and finally last week we had it. When I return
from Mexico later this month I plan on completing the dinette with this change. A little
work on the trim of the cabin and two coats of varnish and "Aloha Banks" will be almost ready to be put back in the water.
I'm actually finding out what a blog
is. It’s a convenient way to let you family and friends know what has been going on in your life. Lets you know how busy most
of us are. I do hope next week to be able to show some progress with the boat. I have wood coming in and with a little luck
I'll have my doors to hang this weekend.
This is where it all started with Ricki
and me putting his boat in the water and taking mine out. At least the refit. Notice the cradle on the car hauler Ricki designed
and built to move his boat from Maryland to Raleigh with boat unseen.
That’s Ricki's Ford F350 full size diesel pulling the CM30 on our 27’ sailboat trailer.
Be sure to get in touch so I know you're out there! Use the contact page for our e-mails.
