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