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?
- Standing rigging check - this was last done in July 2013, and she's not had heavy usage, 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 - I will give it a good check though, particularly the forestay as that always gets a hammering when you have a roller furler For reference:
- 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.
