Any updates in red.. priority jobs in bold..
- Fit the chunkier cleat bought at Widley boat jumble (in 2014!) on the fore deck - low priority
- Fit mid-ship cleats - low priority
- Navigation lights - low priority
- Bilge pump(s??) - was going to be the Winter '22/'23 main project but I ran out of time.
- Fit anchor chain hawse pipe - low priority
-
The gel coat is original but is getting thin to non-existent in places -
I will not paint her (that way lies madness) but I do
need to stop further UV damage to places where it is thin - last winter
('22/'23) I roughly colour matched some off the shelf external paint
and patched some of the worst spots as an experiment - it has worked a
treat, so I will do the rest this winter...
- Titivate the tender - just needs a few patches of paint redoing - she's lasted so well this summer after that major overhaul last winter, very pleased.
- New washboards - maybe a single board instead of two?
- I was looking at the cabin wiring the other day and while it all works, and is mostly tucked away, neat it isn't - some ducting perhaps, and I need to label it better in the switch box..
- Standing rigging check - this was last done in July 2013, but she's not had heavy usage in the interim; we had one year not in use (COVID), and one year where we only had half season (ditto), so it may not really need doing this year - I will give it a good check though, particularly the forestay as that always gets a hammering when you have a roller furler
- Replaced 2 cap shrouds, and 2 pairs of lower shrouds, in 4mm 1/19 stainless steel wire with new 5/16th rigging screws (Swage stud to Fork) and new swage eyes.
- Replaced the split backstay in 4mm 1/19 stainless steel wire using a triangular plate with new bottle screw and new eyes and forks
- Replaced the forestay in 6mm 1/19 stainless steel wire (the fitting on the lower part of the roller furling needs a swaged eye with a diameter of 12mm which is only available to fit 6mm wire. ) with new eye at the top of the forestay and new stud or bottle screw at the lower end.
Regular/annual items:
- Install temporary winter cockpit locker lids and bring proper ones home to keep out of the winter weather; ditto tiller - locker lids done

- Pick up chain:
- I 'end for ended' the chain (bought 2016), swapped it round so the old end is new beginning and vice versa '22/'23.
- Replaced the pick up buoy itself with a spare I had in the garage '22/'23.
- new shackle between pickup buoy and chain '22/'23.
