Launching day starts inside.

Anjumal lived in this construction building for the past year, surrounded by scaffolding, sitting on the railway cradle.

Moved Outside and Everything Ready

The staging behind Anjumal was removed and she was pulled out of the construction building on the railway cradle.

The Railway

Next step is to roll out the marine railway. This is an older picture of the railway wher she launched.

Away she goes

The cables from the railway are used to pull the cradle out into the water. The tug is waiting to take a line from her after she lifts off the cradle.

Coming into the dock

This quarter shot shows the transom and rear profile.

Full profile.

In this location, she will float twice a day as the tide comes in and out. She'll be here till mid-February.

Now with Mast and Ovatek

A couple of weeks later and the exterior pieces are coming together. Here she is sitting on her own keels on the bottom as the tide is out.

Getting the Mast Decked Out

Radar and antennas all getting wired onto the mast as the electronics are being commissioned.

Last week at this dock

Were these two fishing trawlers. It was ships like these that inspired the pleasure trawler hull form. It was also where we got the idea for the Ovatek lifeboat. See the orange pod on the roof...

Our Ovatek

It didn't fit wile in the construction building. It is now mounted on the boat deck behind the pilot house.
