The New Year saw the start of the final three months before Freja’s launch, now on the 7^th April. The final bits to the inside are being fitted, the doors, sinks, taps and pumps, ready for the plumber and electrician to come in and do their bit before finally finishing the painting and varnishing. Patric is busy in his sail loft finishing the sails, and Johnny is busy splicing and serving the wire for her rig.

Just before Christmas our resident artist, Anna Cattermole, had a local exhibition of her work on Freja. For all those who missed it, here is a link to her website where you can see her pictures of Freja in build.

Filmed last summer, Amelie Rose has been gracing our screens in “The Hungry Sailors” with Dick and James Strawbridge. Worth watching for some lovely scenes of her sailing, even if you’re not into the food!
