Boat Description
1984 Draco 2300 Suncab powered by single Mercruiser 5.7L 260hp petrol engine. This is a fine sports cruiser, well built as are all Scandinavian boats and well maintained by her owner. She has benefitted from an extensive re-fit in 2015 with new cushions, headlinings, carpets, wiring, and cockpit canopy. Her owner reports her to be a fine sea boat in all weathers having cruised her extensively in the local waters. She is a very comfortable weekender, ideal for fishing, ski-ing and picnics with her large cockpit and surprisingly economical motor. She is also easily trailered.

Summary
Works commenced in February 2015. All deck fittings removed, old teak removed, swim platform and ladder removed, hull top-side fittings removed prior to re-paint work. Boat moved into workshop to be prepared for painting and over a period of two weeks the entire hull top-sides and deck were sanded, old repairs made good and all imperfections filled and faired. Epoxy based primer and high gloss top coat applied by spray application in anti-dust and heated booth. The product used was Awlgrip and the spray work was undertaken by International Yacht Paint. The formula of this product is now launched on the market and is used for Superyachts that demand a hard and high gloss paint product. The value of the preparation and paint work undertaken is circa £4,500.00. The restoration work of November Rain is completed during 2015 and 2016 with the reinstatement of the two forward cleats and teak strips to original standard, all new teak, all new deck fittings, new fuel and water inlet hoses, new toilet and holding tank with macerator discharge pump, new seacocks, new canvas and stainless steel frames, new cabin flooring, carpet and cushions.
