Midnight

 

M & A Engineering Ltd line bore the ‘A’ Frame Bracket and Stern Tube bearing bores, on the aluminium hulled yacht ‘Midnight’, under repair at the Pendennis Shipyard, Falmouth, England.

 

M & A Engineering Ltd was requested, by the Pendennis Shipyard, to machine the bearing location bores on the ‘A’ Frame and Stern Tube.

The yard discovered there was a misalignment between the gearbox, stern tube bearing, and ‘A’ frame bearing locations. The Pendennis Engineers provided M & A with datum references to re-bore the two bearing locations and correct the misalignment.

 

 

Boring Equipment Set In The Two Bearing Location Bores

 

 

By utilising two sets of equipment, the ‘A’ frame bore, and Stern Tube bore, could be machined simultaneously.
