Dear 6mR sailors,
Leonor is finally sailing after 5 years of restauration process. We tried to restore to the original design and also to comply with the Internatinal Metric Rule. As we didn't have the sailplans nor the building ones, we had to restore her according to the pictures we could get from the former owners, old measurement forms, etc.
We would like to thank you all for the information you have provided us during these years.
Here is a gallery of the pictures of the first sailing.
We made a new wooden mast and we are using the original boom. The hull planking is almost original except for pieces that had to be changed because of the engine it had, etc. The deck is new, made from hemlock pine.
I hope you like the pictures.
We are planning to go to Europe to race the 2007 Metric Rule Centenary
race.
Best Regards.
Jorge.
