This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Hardstanding Pachuca

My application for free liftout and hard standing for 3 months was successful and the Pachuca is scheduled for liftout at 1 PM on the 26th of May.  My 12 meter pen will then be used by the club to accommodate one of the visiting boats for the winter series of sailing.

I visited the Fremantle Sailing Club web site (http://www.fsc.com.au/home/) and calculated that the entire package would have normally cost me a total of $4130 - $364 for the liftout and $3766 for the 90 days of hard standing.  The timing has been perfect for me because soon the worst of the house renovation effort will be behind me (until the next phase) and I'll be able to allocate many days at my convenience for performing overdue hull maintenance and probably some paint touch up.
