2023 Mid year report to members and friends

Biennial maintenance work on Slipway in October 2022,
Superb prep job by the historic Townsville boatyard and International Paint Products applied by our two excellent international work experience volunteers Olaf and Michael, guided by the leading hands of Capt Iris and Capt Jon.

Since then Bulwalks Scuppers and non slip deck coatings are on track to finish in June.
