Hi,

Yes, that is a Shetland 570 - although it looks like the windows have been changed / upgraded. Mine had perspex windows fitted with rubber seals.
Your boat looks good though.

Hi,

We had a 536 the same as yours and it had the same problem. In our case, the rainwater was getting in through:
1) The blanking plugs on the side decks
2) The mounting points for the pulpit
3) The fairleads.

Another possible source is the mooring cleats at the stern. I re-sealed all of these ...

Hi,

Hi Steve,

Yes - she has been at home on the trailer since the autumn. Should be back in the water soon hopefully - just got a few jobs to do, including antifouling it & servicing the engine. Look forward to seeing some pics of your boat - might see you out on the water sometime?

So I have managed to find one, but it came from a F4 so it is the same type, but wrong colour. I'm going to fit it and see how we get on, then hopefully recolour it to try and match what's ...

Hi Colin, thanks for the compliment. I have posted a pic of the cockpit that I took yesterday. Will take some more and post soon. Really pleased with the logos - they transformed it when I put them on!!

Thanks,

IMG_0022.JPG Here is our Black Hawk called Avrilanne. This one is hull no.419 which I believe was built in 1980. She is powered by a 70hp Johnson with a 7.5hp Mercury as an auxilliary and with two people aboard she will do about 20 knots.

We bought her at the end of January as an upgrade from our ...
