It is always a nervous time when you have a hull thickness survey done. You cannot see what is going on below the waterline and Constance is now nearly 34 years old. Duly taken in to Semington Dock.

| Hull survey under way |
The steel for Constance is known as 6/5/4. That is: 6mm base plate, 5mm hull sides and 4mm cabin top. The readings in chalk above and below omit the decimal point.

| Starboard stern section |
For a 34 year old boat these readings are pretty good. The anodes need replacing and have been added to the work list. Thanks go to David Williams for doing the hull survey.

| More green |
As Constance is under cover it was an excellent chance to put some more green paint on the cabin roof.

| Constance in dry-dock |
We are just waiting for the hull to dry completely so that the blacking can be done.
