Member Spotlight: Blair

Besides shining the Ocean Nomads values as skipper, Blair is also rebuilding a vessel! (& farming seaweed). On the network he shares about his project rebuilding Ceol Mo , a 44’ steel yawl built in New Zealand in 1988 by Sydney to Hobart winning designer, Ken Slater. "She is a 19tonne high altitude cruiser built on a 1980s racing full keel hull. I bought her last year in southern Tasmania and am rebuilding her over the next two years.
I have so far installed all new standing and running rigging and stripped and repainted both masts.
Redoing all the wood work top side and refreshing sail bags, new bimini, spray dodger etc. The real big job is her electrics.​
