Gerard came over yesterday to hold the centreboard case while I measured, fretted, drew its outline, then drilled holes for the screws that come through from underneath.
The hole nearest the centre frame was too close to use the power drill, so I used the hand drill I inherited from Gavan, my lovely father in law. He would have loved this project. It was nice to use one of his tools, his contribution to the work.
As you can see from the photo Gerard took, working on the Skerry requires some good stretching and bending. Just as well I have been doing my back exercises every day.
