You have probably all had the experience of how one job leads to another. I started my pre summer check with a small repair of an exhaust leak on starboard side, then found the risers were very corroded that lead to inspection of the manifold. Before I knew it we were inspecting the cylinders and oh boy .....

Who's Lochin is this?

I was watching this video of a race boat on you tube, and saw a nice looking Lochin 33 in the video. If you fast forward to 2.52 on the video, you will see it come into shot. I wonder if it belongs to anybody on here?

After a really rubbish start to this year, with the boat breaking free from her moorings, we are finally nearing completion of the repair works.
