17th May 2002: The latest pics of the boat. We have just about finished fitting the furniture since these were taken and will be dry fitting the upper side panels soon.
I think the pics show that it is not too difficult to modify the coach roof. We have probably gone a little overboard with the stringers, but having been clobbered a couple of times by bad beam seas, the extra stringers are no hardship.
The cross beam has holes for the centre line widths of the T38, 30 and when we get the dimensions, for the 31. Each wheel has a rating of just over a ton. Although we pulled Dragon out in perfect conditions, by the time I had her painted that afternoon, the wind was up to 45 knots!! So we launched her again the next day. The dollies handled the breeze without a problem.
