Hi Mat, Regarding you having had both versions of the Senior. Does the centre plate sail much better than the centre ballast + Bilge keels one? And where your bilge keels plywood or steel? My Senior, Mikros, has a dropped centre ballast and to 1 foot deep steel bilge keels. Just wondering how it wou...

Hi Keith, Thank you for your reply. Yes, I already have my coppercoat and I bought directly from the company you bought too. I did get in touch with Geoffrey (the initial owner) and asked his advise which was the same as yours, so that's what I will be doing. I did write an email before buying the c...

Hi All, So I am in the process of painting the hull and applying copper coat to it. I have already sanded down to bare wood and was very happy to see that apart from some small areas that seemed to already have been treated before, there was no visible signs of rot damage. I have not taped over the ...

Hi Keith, Your comment is actually very interesting to me. I did have a look at coppercoat and moved await from it as I was not 100% sure of its efficacy plus the application process kind of led me to look for other options. But I think I might just do the coppercoat. I will send them an email this ...

Hello, I am preparing to do maintenance works to the hull of Mikros (YM senior 1967). Because I bought it last August I am thinking of doing a sort of ''reset'' to the hull finish. I read online that marine plywood has a life expectancy up to 25 years. That is interesting as Mikros has 54 years alre...

Thank you for your recommendation, I will get in touch.

Kind regards,
Joao

In the meantime I got in touch with Geoffrey Hyde Fynn, who is the original owner and son of the builder, and have learned much from him regarding rigging and maintenance. One thing he told me...

Hello Everyone, So last weekend I finally got the boat in the water! We spent three hours sailing and I spotted a water leak right under the hatch into the covered area. I checked under the cockpit but there was no water there and also noticed that there was some peeled of paint internally. I also n...

Just to let people know all is being sorted.

I am now part of the Medway Cruising Club and the club members are being most helpful and patient with me
Hope to get on the water soon with my new friends.

Kind regards,
Joao

Hello everyone, I have just bought the YM Senior named Mikros you can see on the photo gallery of Eventides. I am so excited with this boat! I am fascinated by DIY and boat building and last week whilst looking for a club to join and learn to sail with my mirror dinghy - my first boat and the boat I...
