Current Status
On The Hard
The yacht club is allowing Hydrotherapy to stay on the hard while the renovation backlog is worked down.
Hydrotherapy / Second Journey
Current Work
On-Hard Jobs
The main refit work list now starts with the on-the-hard jobs: deck work, deck painting, bottom work, rudder fit-up, and mounting the motor before slip day.
Next Milestone
Jul 17 Slip
The next real milestone is moving Hydrotherapy into the slip around July 17, 2026 if the on-the-hard work is ready.
Target First Sail
Aug 1
The target first sail is August 1, 2026 after the in-slip electrical, systems, rigging, and dockside checks are finished.
Current Timeline
The Hydro plan is now to finish the on-the-hard work, slip around July 17, and aim for a first sail on August 1.
On-the-hard jobs now lead the schedule
The main work list now starts with the jobs that need dry access while Hydrotherapy stays on the hard.
- Deck work and cockpit structure
- Deck and cockpit painting
- Bottom work and dry-side valves access
- Rudder fit-up and mounting the motor
Slip work now means pre-sail commissioning
Once Hydrotherapy is in the slip, the focus shifts to the jobs that must still be finished before first sail.
- Electrical proving and labeling
- Valve, fuel, bilge, and lighting checks
- Rigging, safety, and dockside review
- Everything here still feeds first sail
Jul 17 slip, Aug 1 target first sail
Splash and first sail are now two separate milestones, with a dockside commissioning stretch between them.
- Slip target around Jul 17
- Target first sail on Aug 1
- First sail does not happen on launch day
- Dockside testing sits between the two
Interior cosmetic work can move later
The nice-to-have interior cosmetic and comfort work no longer needs to block the first sail target.
- Interior tidy-up can wait
- Locker and cosmetic jobs can follow
- Optional upgrades can stay separate
- Keep first sail focused on readiness
What Could Move The Date
The July 17 slip date and August 1 first-sail target both depend on the hard and slip phases closing cleanly.
Deck, cockpit, hatch, and paint work on the hard can still widen once each area is opened and confirmed.
Bottom access, rudder fit-up, and motor mounting all have to close before Hydrotherapy can move into the slip.
Electrical, fuel, bilge, rigging, and dockside safety checks still need to be finished before first sail.
The main refit list is now driving the schedule, so July 17 and August 1 are working targets, not promises.

Main listRefit + inspection
Now Through Late June
On-the-hard deck, cockpit, and bottom work
Work through the deck structure, cockpit areas, bottom-side access, valves, and other jobs that need the boat dry and open.
Late June Through Mid-July
Deck painting, rudder fit-up, and motor mounting
Finish the paint-heavy work, fit or replace the rudder, mount the motor, and close the final dry-side launch prep before the move.
Around Jul 17
Move into the slip if ready
Hydrotherapy moves into the slip around July 17 only if the on-the-hard work and launch checks are closed cleanly.
Jul 18 Through Jul 31
In-slip work before first sail
Use the slip time for electrical proving, fuel and valve checks, rigging and safety setup, and the dockside systems review before sail.
Target Date
Aug 1 first sail if ready
First sail stays separate from splash day. August 1 is the target only if the in-slip systems and safety work are signed off.
After First Sail
Interior cosmetic and comfort follow-up
Interior cosmetic work, locker clean-up, comfort upgrades, and the less time-critical extras can move to the post-sail phase.
Current Project Status
What is happening now, what comes next, and why it matters.
The main work list is now grouped by where the job happens.
Hydrotherapy is staying on the hard while the deck, paint, bottom, rudder, and motor jobs that need dry access are worked down first.
Getting into the slip starts the pre-sail commissioning phase.
Once the hard-stand jobs are closed, the slip phase becomes the place for electrical, rigging, fuel, and dockside checks before first sail.
The key dates are now July 17 and August 1.
July 17 is the working slip target, and August 1 is the target first sail. The gallery below still reflects the current Hydro photo archive while that sequence gets worked down.
