Putting on last board

Arlene gluing #8, last week.
Today (26 October), we put on the last
board, the "Sheerstrake".  Then, a few bits
and pieces, like keel, and turn over.

Have been away for a while, racing our "other boat",  Xena, in the China Coast Regatta and the race to Hainan Island.  That is, we've been "going for a yacht", as our Kiwi crewmates say.
Just back a few days ago.  Racing with some success, having won our Division of the China Coast Race and now the China Coast Race Week Regatta, for which all we had to do was finish in the race from Hong Kong to Hainan Island in China.  Nice start photo here.
