It's that time of year again when the Steam Yacht Gondola will be coming out of the water here at Coniston and we will be undertaking the annual maintenance work. The last sailing of the season will be Sunday 4 November 2012. In preparation, Bill and Russ have been replacing the keel blocks.
What is a keel block? you ask. The above photographs show you that they are what the boat sits on as it comes out of the water. These oak and metal ones are replacing the old ones that were made of larch. More photographs to follow as work progresses.
