Commissioning & Launching

Shipped to Port Kembla from Florida, Tegwen was then trucked to Woolwich Dock for initial commissioning.  Here is Stephen's first sighting of Tegwen at Woolwich 29th December 2007.
With the wiring and rigging in place, the mast was stepped and Tegwen's keel  touched water for the first time on the 8th January 2008.

From there she was motored around to the Catalina Anchorage in Middle Harbour to complete the commissioning process.
