All looking good there Tim. The water reflection off the bow is really nice.

Seriously though, with a dark blue (Royal Blue??) hull that has a fine finish and reflects the water with possibly a gold pinstripe near the gunwale, an oiled or varnished timber toe rail and white cabin sides she will have a classic and beautiful look to her. The scroll type lettering of the name is quite perfect too.

I noticed in the last photo that looking at the boot topping she is sitting fairly high out of the water. I assume then that most of her gear is on shore. When you have finished all the repairs and got all necessary gear on board including food water and fuel it would be a good idea to take another photo for comparative purposes.

One other thing Tim. You really need to brush up on your nautical terminology.

The only doors on a yacht are locker doors. The rest are hatches and when the main hatch is open the opening is called the companionway.

The companionway is a very important part of an efficiently run yacht and at times may need to be transited by one or more crew members at great speed in order to for example, put out a fire below, bang a bung into a busted skin fitting or untangle the anchor chain.

Therefore there only three kinds of people who hang around in the companionway and thereby block it. They are owners, admirals and arseholes. The only exception is the galley rat when passing food or drink up to the cockpit for the watch on deck or taking down the washing up and during those processes only.

I might make another exception for a naked "Miss World" if that was where she wanted to be but that would seriously hamper the proper navigation of the yacht so I would probably put her on the tiller and fetch the camera from below.

Keep going Tim and keep us posted. Cheers Cisco
