S/V Rainshadow

We hauled out on July 21st, hoping to “haul and hang” for an hour to pull off the old Axiom and put on the new one, but with the nagging fear in the back of our minds that we should have replaced the white metal bearing during our haul out in June.

Axiom made the new prop in just under three weeks, and UPS got it here in just five days. What an amazingly flat world.

We had Rainshadow hauled out for the pre-purchase survey so the surveyor could inspect the hull and rudder. This gave us a good chance to look at her bottom sides, and figure out where all the thru-hulls are. Here are some photos that show what she looks like below the waterline.
