Rigging week III
This week we are preparing the rigging for the coming season. We will be painting the gaffs, booms and main mast and doing the final touches to the blocks, lines and mooring nails. This week a crane will help us put up the new mizzen mast – this will also require some preparation and helping hands.

Rust and paint III – final coat
This week we want to make Lovis look nice again together with you! There is no place on the ship that cannot be transformed into a wonderful new rust construction site by sea water and air. We will try to do the last work on the steel and conceal what has been left behind so that the ship can be given its final coat of paint. No previous knowledge is required.

Rigging week II
This construction week is all about recoating the gaffs, booms and masts. We can also deal with the maintenance of blocks and nails and the replacement of ropes this week.

Rust and color II
The rust is gnawing and nibbling away at the Lovis again. It simmers under the surface until the paint cracks and the blunt truth comes to light. But that’s where you come in. With a grinder and needle scaler, with acetone and primer, we get to the bottom of the rust and try to remove as much of it as possible – and then paint on a beautiful new color.

Rigging week I
This week we want to work with the the round timbers: Using a scraper and paint scraper, we will remove the varnish of the last decade from the gaffs and booms and prepare everything for a new coating. We will probably be able to swing the brushes towards the end of the week and start to give the timbers a new shine. We will also take care of the maintenance of the blocks, mooring nails and lines. Parallel to the construction week, we will start building a new mizzen mast for the Lovis. Here too, minor support may occasionally be necessary.

Rust and colour I – the big rust removal
In the first week of construction, we will focus on the steel and remove rust with a rust hammer, tercoo disc and sandpaper and then preserve the steel with fresh paint.
No previous knowledge is required. We will give you an introduction to the different types of rust and how to recognise it with just your fingertips, which tools are most useful and how they actually work.
