Recent Update

Lady Joy's special 5-year survey (at 20-years) is scheduled for August 2027, however, Lady Joy is completing her tail shaft survey in September 2026 and all out-of-the-water "special periodic survey" work which is required for the 5-year special survey. This should mean that there is very little remaining to complete that special periodic survey next year. 

They will be taking plenty of photos of the underwater progress and completion which would hopefully assist with any future buyer surveys. Lady Joy will also be replacing some carpets and completing some interior varnish work.
