The build

Building the boat when she was commissioned as Ocean Flame III

Built at Trident Marine located at Wicor near Porchester, Hampshire in 1996

Ocean Flame III was sail number 109

 

Filmed by Alan Philpott and presented to the committee of the Association as an update, the boat can be seen alongside another of her class slightly more complete. 

 

When we later see the drying process it becomes easier to understand how the large structures supporting the engine and the bulkhead are immense enough to take a while to dry out.

 

It is also interesting to see the moulding for the deck lying alongside ready to be craned on top of the hull.

Thanks to the Go Sailing Association for putting it on
