Wendera
This is the last post to this site.
Follow us on our trip around Australia at our new site:
Thanks to everyone who helped in Wendera’s construction and launch and for allowing us to follow our sailing dream.
The Cochrane family
In the words of Stevie Wonder …. "Isn’t she lovely?"
And as promised …. six weeks after the launch, this is how she looks on the inside ….
THE SALOON ….
Thank you to Andrew of Action Auto Upholstery and Marine Canvas (Ph: (09) 4984 6698 or Mobile 0407 787 100) for the gorgeous saloon cushions – we love them, they look great and are very comfortable too!
THE GALLEY ….
As you can see, there is still work to be done, with doors and hinges, but I think you’ll agree it is a great working space for any chef!
THE STARBOARD SIDE MAIN CABIN (GUEST CABIN) ….
THE PORTSIDE MAIN CABIN ….
THE STARBOARD SIDE AFT CABIN (Ben’s) ….
THE PORTSIDE AFT CABIN (Tim’s) ….
Note the portlight hatches, through which the boys can see the water illuminated by the underwater lights!
The Port Head and the DC Switchboard and inverter.
THE COCKPIT ….
THE HELM STATION ….
The window behind sides down so Paul can have immediate access to the navigation station.
Mooch (the tender) sits comfortably from the Davits.
The main cover and headsail on …..
Wendera with her main being pulled up for the first time …..
Wendera under sail in Port Stephens ….
and with the spinnaker ….
She’s pretty ……
She’s functional …..
and although there are still a few things to be completed, soon the journey will begin but for now, we are already enjoying living on her. To quote Ben "this is the life!"
