Work Done in the Summer of 2020
At the start of the year we had to move Nova Cura to a new temporary location because our old location was over two city heating pipes that had to be replaced.

Luckily the harbour office could place us in a nice sunny location in the middle of the city (Wijnhaven) for the summer season. Since we could not easily travel, we then decided to work on the ship, as below:
- Repainted the three vertical stacks (main engine exhaust, CV boiler exhaust and engine room air intake)
- Replaced CV boiler exhaust outlet (H piece)
- Repainted cargo sides and deck walk-ways
- Repainted external sides (top)
- Repainted name board davits
- Repainted wooden cargo covers
- Repainted the stern davit
- Added a one-piece canvas cover to protect the wooden hatches. Dekkleed supplied by Den Boer Sails
- Repainted wheel house roof
- Repainted aerial mast
- Revarnished the foredeck mast
- Repainted bolderkasts
- Repainted foredeck engine room hatch
- Repainted stern quarter
- Replaced the old wood burning stove with a Nordic Fire Stlyo (pellet burning stove)
