Completed job list '21/'22 lay up..

By way of record keeping, and to remind me in the future - here's the completed job list from the winter layover...
  1. Electrics:
    • new battery installed 
    • renewed the wiring for the power socket used by the autopilot
    • depth gauge installed

       
  2. A smooth off of her bottom - no idea how many years of antifouling paint on top of antifouling  paint there is down there, but while it's not falling off it isn't smooth either, so a sanding pole with some mesh and a bucket of water was purchased, and an hour or two later she was considerably smoother. I'll do it again next year, but the take away is not to be cautious - get as coarse a grit of mesh as possible.
  3. Titivate the tender - thwarts/strakes need doing - completed - she looks as rough as a badgers ar*e but is solid, and good for another season. At the same time I also modified the tender trolley to better carry a flat bottomed tender (as mine is), rather than the V shape the trolley is designed for..
  4. New clock fitted
Regular/annual items:
  • Rub down and coat of paint on cockpit locker lids / wash boards (as needed)  - all done
  • Rub down and coat of wood preservative on rubbing strakes / cockpit board / outboard pad / hand rails (as needed) - all done
  • Antifoul  - done, takeaway this year was the huge improvement in speed from using the slightly bigger, woolly (rather than foam) roller
  • Service outboard - done
  • Service Life Jackets - done
