'Centaur' is Stella number 100.
She is a nice example of the class being pretty much
to original specification. Her deck and upperworks
are in extremely good order and she has good spars
and rigging. However, like many clinker vessels who
reach their 40's she had started to leak to an
unacceptable degree. Her owner, Mr Sebastian King
got us to refasten her below the waterline which
improves the situation greatly and gives renewed
confidence in her structural integrity. With a
host of other work also completed, she has been
re-launched and ready to go. |
