Almost spring 2017

Thanks for checking out the Loon website. Well, over the winter we hoped that we could finish the last of the big repairs to the HMS Loon. That repair is to the 3 cylinder Volvo Marine Diesel engine.  The Marina staff took the head off the engine and sent it out to be rebuilt.  We are hoping as the warmth creeps back up to Bayfield that the head will be added back to the block and we will have iron sail working once again.  

When we lifted the boat out of the water for the winter we recognized that there will be a few more bottom repairs on the steel keel before it drops back in the lake in May. We expect that this will not take us too long and we hope for an early start to the sailing season. If it ever gets warm.
