Could Ruffian be any more disorganised.

Tidied, but chaotic.

Glassfibre backing plates. They&#039;ll help distribute the load.

Larry gets manly again.

Ruffian&#039;s disassembly continues.

Lychee harvest.

It&#039;s a work of art.

Our old bent and broken solar arch.

Shiny new feet.

It time to start on the cabinetry.

Broken bulkhead.

Worrying cracks.

Splintered wood.

Clamps and epoxy are the solution.

More clamps and more epoxy.

Starting to come together.

More wood required.

We need some R &#039;n&#039; R.

Getting rid of the 12&#039;s.

Waterproofing in the hot sun.

Grinding back.

Filling.

Fairing.

Making like new.

Goodbye old Cetol. Hello new.

5 coats.

Solar panel fixings are cleaned up ready for the solar arch.

It arrives.

The arch has company in the flatbed.

Even stronger than the fibre footings.

The final fitting.

Arch on, footings in place, cables run.

Just how many tools do we need in a day.

Exciting new connectivity.
