Bristolian is out of shed photos below show her keel being fitted then systems commissioned prior to launching. I will be back to you in 2 weeks when we load Bristolian on to a truck and driven on to a barge. Then she will be towed up to Auckland harbour; where an awaiting ship will use her derricks to unload Bristolian from the barge. Should make for interesting watching!!!

YDL are preparing to move Bristolian out of the shed next week; she will be lifted by 200 t crane and lowered on the lifting keel. I will up date you with some interesting photos of the event!
