Get the Pros in for the big jobs

On the 6th of March the team arrived to carry out the major hull repairs. From left to right in the photo are Graham O'Donnell, Pete Hollows (Ox), and Merv. I had been introduced to them through a friend (Kim, Marine Engineer), who had worked with these guys on some major ship repair jobs. I was extremely lucky to find guys with this level of experience and expertise.
As you can see they proceeded to take out large chunks of the original hull plate. Over a period of 3 and a half weeks they had replaced all the rotten sections.
