In September 2014 "Donjeux" was lifted out of the water for the hull, topsides and superstructure
to be re-painted. The hull and topsides were prepared and rust spots treated accordingly.
The topsides were re-painted in the livery as shown in the images on this web site.
The hull was blackened and finished with three coats of epoxy for extra protection.
Other improvement work was carried out to enhance the cruising experience on Donjeux.
Extra amidships bollards were added (for flexible moorings options when mooring alongside and in locks). The propeller shaft cutlass bearing was replaced.

DONJEUX.
Private
12 2003 Aquarelle Marina on the River Yonne at Auxerre. 55 ft. x 12.5 ft Volvo 4 cylinder Beta - 75 BHP 2 doubles in fore & aft cabins, and a sofabed in saloon. Friday. Allowed. NOT allowed. Two high season weeks (taken as a fortnight) and one low season week, booked via a rotating priority system. Each share rotates to either first or second position every six years, a very fair system . Any unused weeks can be booked for a nominal sum. Booking begins, according to rota, in the July of the previous year. In some years, not all three weeks fall within the season when the canals are open for navigation - but the high season fortnight certainly always does.
