She is a very strong boat, beautifully put together, but with her sixtieth birthday round the corner, there are a few things to sort out to keep her in top class order. She has just had a structural survey, and it was decided that it is time for her to be removed from her ballast keel, and the iron floors removed, repaired and refurbished, then refitted with new fastenings.
