Grotty weather has slowed me down a bit lately, but I managed to get a new interior step made. I can toss away the wood block that was previously in place (yes, literally 3 inch x 4 inch wood block) So thats all my external wood restoration done. Next job once the foul weather clears up is to give the decks and topsides a good power wash, then get to work sanding and put down some new Kiwi grip in a few problem areas. I won't be doing the whole deck this season, just some areas that need attention. Following that joyful work Ill be putting in new vinyl on the hull interior and replacing the wooden headliner (the original 3/8 inch thick 2 ply), with a more modern material. Pipemma, nice lights. AWN has already taken some of my $$ via their WEBshop. Ordered a west systems epoxy kit, It was literally at my door the next afternoon! www.23hq.com/MightyTinyPirate/photo/54529101/originalwww.23hq.com/16171062/54529094_d3ce492785577b821f5be23315ce665a_large.jpg

Very smart indeed, looking forward to seeing it with the refinished cockpit floor grating installed too.

MalcomP, yes they churned them out alright! Sadly there are less than 100 now (floating) left in Europe that are accounted for, mostly in France, and 3 that I know of in the Caribbean, 2 of which were sailed there from Europe in recent years.
As far as I understand the Love Junior was actually a different boat and was rebranded after its first year as the "Flirt", basically it was a Love Love that was 2 feet shorter.

Quick update to inform there is no update. Weather has been complete shiite and I can't work inside the boat without putting most of its insides outside so as to have space to work inside.... hope that makes sense. Weather is supposed be good as of next week so hoping to kick off again then
