We have made some progress with the galley sink. Bruce and I visited a caravan (trailer) shop and purchased a very high quality (and high price!) tap that has a high rise, swivels from side to side, and has excellent control knob. Later that day I purchased a set of 10 flat seals and trimmed three of them with sharp scissors to fit under an extra plate supplied with the tap to cover the hole through the counter surface which was wider than the new tap. The next morning I visited Bunnings and with the help of one of their staff put together the necessary pieces to connect the threaded tap to the inlet hose.

Here is a photo of the section that passes through the cabin of the newly painted mast compression post that we fitted two weeks ago.

Bruce has made progress with the keel. He is fairing (smoothing) the surface of the keel to near racing boat standard. I did not expect this quality of work but Bruce has put in a lot of effort to do the job to his standard. One photo shows the port side of the keel with green filling that has been sanded smooth and the other photo shows the starboard side which has already been filled, sanded, and coated with two of the four coats of "International Interprotect" epoxy primer that it will get.
