When we hauled out in August 2024, we didn’t realize Rainshadow would be on the hard until mid June 2026. A variety of events lead us to not sail at all in 2025. We did work on Rainshadow in 2025, but the brutal work started in April 2026.
We hauled Rainshadow at Sea Marine in Port Townsend for a week, starting June 13th. We had a nice stay there. Sea Marine pushed a staircase along side the boat, so I could climb aboard (I certainly would not be able to climb a ladder). So we lived aboard on the hard, and worked on her every day. Weather was pleasant enough (read, very little rain) – it was a nice “vacation” even though Van slaved away on the boat non-stop.
