Getting shipshape

Sailor Mike Dewar, of Dunedin, gives his motorsailer boat Rubiconz a fresh lick of paint at the Otago Yacht Club on Tuesday.

Mr Dewar said he bought the 11.5m-long two-keel boat about eight months ago.

He was planning on going on trips with his wife around the West Coast, to Stewart Island and to the Marlborough Sounds, he said.
